“Setting up a Cookery School at the farm was a way of giving visitors the opportunity to share our ingredients – the heart of everything we do at Daylesford – and to reconnect with them; to use and engage with produce while also learning about it and understanding how it journeys from field to fork.”

Fabulous Seasonal Dinner Party Course

"The BEST day spent at Daylesford Cookery School with my brother, Jonathan! We were under the expert guidance of Steve Bulmer (who is a superb chef and an equally superb teacher). It was a wonderful, fun day and I came away exhilarated and ready to cook! I have prepared two of the dishes at home so far and am about to make crème brûlée tomorrow. The French cookery course is an absolute must!"

Chef's Table - fantastic!

"My partner bought this as a birthday treat and it was wonderful! Apart from a fantastic 4-course meal with great wines in a beautiful setting, Steve and Charles entertained us with great tips and stories. An unforgettable experience and we hope to return."
