Welcome to Cheshire Cooks, where inspirational teaching and a love of food is at the heart of all we do.
A unique venue offering a fresh approach to cooking with exciting classes that emphasise hands-on cookery and inspirational teaching, using top quality seasonal, local produce.
There are few things more enjoyable in life than gathering around a table with family and friends – good food, good wine and good company are a perfect combination. Whether your aim is to cook for pleasure, learn to cook as a professional, or enjoy a team building exercise with colleagues, our tutors will offer one or two-day courses designed to suit the complete novice through to the experienced enthusiast. You will leave with new-found confidence and enthusiasm, impatient to return to your own kitchen to experiment with your skills. ‘Cheshire Cooks’ look forward to welcoming everyone who has a passion for food and wishes to have fun preparing it in a relaxed, sociable environment.
Located 12 miles, into the Cheshire countryside, from its Sister company the Green Bough Hotel, ‘Cheshire Cooks’ is the ideal learning environment which can be combined with a City break in Chester.
