Perrys Field To Fork Ltd
WHERE
Eccleshall
What it’s like
A working cookery school in Eccleshall running hands-on courses in butchery, bread, world cuisine and BBQ, plus school sessions and hen parties.
This is a proper cookery school rather than a one-off workshop, and the course list shows it. You can book onto artisan butchery, bread making, chocolate and cupcake masterclasses, or a run through Italian, French, Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking. There's also BBQ and outdoor fire cooking if you fancy something less kitchen-bound. For school and college students aged 11 to 18, they run hands-on practical cookery sessions built around the curriculum, which is a step up from the usual "make a pizza" school trip.
Groups seem to be where this place really earns its keep. Hen parties get a private kitchen and dining space for things like patisserie, chocolate box making or a piping masterclass, with welcome refreshments to start you off. Clubs, societies and food industry professionals can also get a bespoke session built around what they actually want to learn, which is a nice option if a standard course doesn't quite fit.
Worth knowing before you book a party: they'll do serving dishes if you want your food to look the part, but there's a small charge to get them back afterwards, and they don't supply tableware, cutlery or serving staff. It keeps things simple on their end, but it does mean you're bringing your own plates if you want a full sit-down spread. Their catering side sticks to a 20-mile radius of Eccleshall, stretching just over the border into Shropshire and Cheshire, which fits with their low food mile approach.
The venue is wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet, and there's a party room set up for birthday celebrations alongside the group and school bookings.
