“What a treat …. to be pampered in a beautiful house, where the
attention to detail and care is second to none combined with an
excellent cooking school with first class tuition. I would thoroughly
recommend this as a ‘must do’ weekend for anyone who loves to cook or
wants to learn.”

"Eckington Manor Cookery School is situated in the most beautiful
surroundings and has been sympathetically built and restored to ensure a
truly memorable and unique location for a fantastic experience. The
school itself is finished to an extremely high specification and I fell
in love with my Aga. A truly memorable weekend away with the very
highest standards of teaching, equipment, hospitality and fun. I will
most certainly be back … and next time hope not to put sugar in my bread
instead of flour!"

"After 2 days at Eckington Manor not only had I conquered
squid preparation, a mushroom risotto and bread making, but the
beautiful surroundings of the Worcestershire countryside had firmly
lifted the London Blues. The 13th Century farmhouse accommodation
and new state of the art cookery school are nothing but first rate.
If you enjoy cooking or simply a relaxing weekend away, Judy and the
team will provide an enjoyable and memorable experience. I
will definitely be back"

"Just 2 hours outside London and I found myself baking walnut
bread, cooking green chicken curry and even making a mean risotto -
a shock to anyone who knows me! In the evening we relaxed and
drank fine wine with a fun group of people. Staying at the
charming 13th Century renovated farmhouse made it a very welcoming
and personal experience and one I would recommend to anyone as
the best tonic to city living!

"On behalf of the entire Inchcape team, I'd like to pass on
our thanks. It really is hard to imagine how the evening could
have been bettered. Everything was so well organised
throughout the entire event and I have received so many
compliments"
Allen Scott
General Manager, Marketing Services
Inchcape Retail Ltd
"My team was unaware of what was planned for the evening and
despite the initial disbelief, rose to the challenge magnificently.
Under the professional care of head chef Mark, we created a
delicious three course meal. I was very impressed by our
results and the feedback I have received has been very positive.
We all very much enjoyed the experience - and I am sure will take
away some hints and tips - and I believe it is something we could do
again within our organisation as a team building event. Once
again, thank you for a great evening"

"Eckington Manor is really in a class of its own. From the
moment you
arrive, Judy and her team’s passion for what they do becomes so
evident. Combining the charm of the English countryside with a state
of the art cookery school set on a private farm is a match made in
heaven. One weekend at Eckington Manor left me feeling so much more
confident in my cooking skills whilst enabling me to relax in the
calm rustic setting. Cooking on an Aga was a fantastic experience
and perfectly complements Eckington’s position as a rural culinary
institution. It goes without saying that Eckington Manor undoubtedly
has a bright future and will soon enough carve the way in the ever
evolving culinary world. Fear not, you are in the hands of
professionals."
