About

Thyme’s founding ingredient, the Cookery School showcases its ‘love of the land’ and offers a welcoming environment to learn and nurture skills. Classes often start in the kitchen garden, showing guests how the produce is grown before harvesting for their menu, and cooking under the guidance of the Thyme chefs.

Covid-19 update: We are hoping to reopen our Cookery School in September 2020. For more information please click here.

‘The Instinctive Cook’ is Thyme’s flagship class exploring flavour combinations that inspire creative, confident and seasonal ingredient- led cooking. 2020 will see new series join the calendar including “Modern Vegetarian” and “Plates from the Ox Barn” under the guidance of chefs from Thyme’s destination restaurant.

We are led by the seasons focussing on what is best to buy, cook & eat right now and as every month is different in our kitchen garden, no two classes are the same.

We also offer private classes for fun parties!
