Game Preparation & Cooking
23rd October 2026 - 9:30am - 3:00pm | Daylesford Farm
We are lucky to have a bountiful larder on our doorstep, throughout the course of the day you will learn how to prepare and cook a variety of game birds and beasts caught on our Cotswolds and Staffordshire farms.
MORE INFORMATION:
Our expert cookery tutors will lead the class, demonstrating how to pluck, dress and prepare your game before cooking it, guiding you through each step of the process as you get hands-on doing it yourself.
You’ll also discover delicious seasonal recipes that show game off at its very best, mastering the techniques to bring out real flavour and leaving with confidence in your cooking. All dishes will be enjoyed with fellow Cookery School students along with a glass or two of wine from our sister estate, Château Léoube. As you arrive, we will introduce you to your day over freshly made coffee and tea, before you enjoy a series of demonstrations and guided hands-on cookery sessions, to create your own dishes.
Full-day course from 9.30am - 3pm includes practical and demonstration cookery sessions, refreshments, course materials and a selection of dishes to eat created throughout the day. Guests of The Cookery School also enjoy a discount of up to 25% in our Farmshop after their course.
