The Kitchen Gossip

 Hello from Steve

Summer is here at last and I cant wait to get out there! The produce grown in the walled garden and the wild food foraged in the Parkland and Estate makes Swinton Park a really special place to learn to cook. We are taking full advantage of this with some great ‘outdoor’ courses – Barbecue Cookery, Kitchen Garden Cookery and Wild about Food - as well as our courses in the cookery school, making the most of wonderful summer ingredients. Please see our cookery school News page for details of these and other forthcoming cookery school activities.

Please click here to review our full events calendar. This gives the dates for all our hotel events such as Garden Lunches, Wine Appreciation Lunches and Gourmet Weekends as well all cookery courses and Chef’s Tables.
