About Cookaway Food Breaks cooking courses
Take your two or three day cookery course in the depths of beautiful South Herefordshire.
Sarah and her team offer dedicated help and encouragement to create delicious traditional British dishes and farmhouse cooking. There is also the comfort of ensuite bedrooms in this recently converted magnificent medieval cruck barn.
Numbers cooking on the course are kept to a maximum of twelve. This maintains a friendly, informal atmosphere while cooking in the barn's cruck beamed kitchen. Fields and hills can be viewed through the large glass panels of the old barn doorway, while dining together round the oak refectory table.
Non-cooking friends are very welcome too!
Everyone is very welcome to bring non-cooking friends or a partner as well, so that they can show off the fruits of their labour during meals.
Non-cooks can enjoy a delicious home made breakfast with everyone. They can explore the many local market towns, castles, ancient churches, riverside, or hill and mountain walks in the area. Up-to-date publications regarding the Wye Valley, the Three Castles and Offa's Dyke walks can be found in the barn along with a comprehensive selection of tourist information. Alternatively, a day's golf or fishing locally, or simply relaxing with newspapers in the gardens or galleried sitting room at Meadow Barn may be more desirable. Non-cooks are most welcome to join every meal.
The surrounding countryside is extremely beautiful with the Wye Valley, Forest of Dean, the Black Mountains, Hay Bluff, the Malvern Hills and the Brecon Beacons all accessible. There is bicycle hire in the Forest of Dean, pony trekking in the Black Mountains, water sports on the River Wye, and at least 8 castles and 25 golf courses to explore in a 20 mile radius.
Local market towns include Ross-on-Wye, Monmouth, Ledbury, Hereford, Abergavenny, Malvern and Chepstow.
Bath, Cheltenham, Bristol, Gloucester, Cardiff, Hay-on-Wye, and Ludlow are a little further afield.
