About your day
Our cookery courses take place on the Catton Estate, next to the River Trent, on the picturesque Derbyshire border. Our spacious kitchens are perfectly equipped. We are only minutes from the A38 and have plenty of free parking.
You’ll have the support of our “kitchen fairies” throughout the day who also take care of all the washing up. We’ll provide an apron for the day, all the equipment and ingredients you’ll need, and refreshments throughout the day. You’ll also receive recipe packs to take home.
Our day courses run from 10.15am to 4 pm. Join the team for early morning refreshments from 10 am.
