Church Farm Cookery School 2010

Are there dishes you have always wanted to include in your dinner party but not had the courage to attempt?

Are you usually stressed in the kitchen whilst your guests are having a great time pre dinner?

Let us show you how get yourself ready well in advance so you too can enjoy the fruits of your labour with all your friends.

We meet after lunch and prepare the four course evening meal together - you will learn some tricks of the trade such as filleting skills, perfect sauces, need to know cooking techniques, presentation and great desserts ( my favourite area !) .

If there is anything specific you want to learn, pastry or making a stuffing and filling a joint for instance, we will try and prepare a menu for you that includes everything you want to do. We will demystify the whole process and have everything done so you can either nip home, if you live locally, grab your partner and come back with them for dinner or alternatively go up to your room and get ready with your partner before coming down to eat.

We will help you serve  and present dinner - giving you loads of time to actually enjoy your food and then the best part, we leave you to enjoy the night and we wash up for you!  

Your tutor is Martin, our resident chef and husband to Mel. He has many years of experience in the catering trade and has run several successful restaurants of his own in Shropshire.  He currently runs our own Church Farm restaurant  and does all the cookery school instruction personally, so you will be in good hands.

The dinner party can be booked with or without accommodation and as Church Farm is unlicensed you are encouraged to bring your own wine to accompany your meal.  Suggestions of accompanying wines will be added to your menu.

If you really want to pamper a partner or friend we have a lovely selection of twin and double rooms at Church Farm and a whole host of activities available for them to do in the afternoon if you want to give them a treat while you cook.  Activities include a variety of beauty treatments, golf, shopping in Shrewsbury, walking on the Wrekin or Long Mynd, horse riding, Ironbridge gorge museums, Attingham Park National Trust property visit, all of which we are happy  to organize in advance for you.

So why not book an afternoon off for you and your partner and come and have some fun. You can learn some new skills, spoil your partner, have some great food,  chosen and cooked by yourself,  a few glasses of wine followed by a good nights' sleep and a farmhouse breakfast. You deserve it.

Testimonials....

Dear Martin
A day in your Cookery School proved both the most fun AND the most
informative day I have ever spent in a kitchen.  Topped off with a
four-course dinner party made it a bargain, too!  Thanks - I'll be back!
