This short course covered a lot of ground in a short space of the time and delivered all its promises. Colin is a hugely skilled and talented presenter who could definitely talk and cook at the same time and was flexible enough to answer questions which did not strictly follow the programme. The whole experience was entertaining and gave me back some joy in cooking and eating great food. I will definitely be asking my family for Ground Up vouchers for my birthday.

Incredible. Dont think just book it. Colin was great and day was WONDERFUL. The food that we prepared was also incredible. Will definitley do more courses here.

Had a great and informative day!

This has to be the best culinary experience I have ever been on. Such incredible knowledge from Colin. Taken away so much in such a shirt amount of time. Anyone who comes here will enjoy an amazing day

The evening was thoroughly enjoyable! We learnt so much about nettles and the dishes prepared were surprising and delicious. I can completely recommend the course.

What a great course well run and matt was very knowledgeable and easy to interact with, we would be interested in a fish course if you ever ran one

Pace was was perfect for all attendees, was informative and we made some lovely food!
Sharing the fruits of our labour at the end of the session was a great way to end the morning
Would certainly recommend

My husband and I did the pasta workshop a few months ago and really enjoyed it. Especially since we got to enjoy a very tasty lunch! We learnt some great tips (although there was almost a marital dispute as we rolled out the pasta!) and have enjoyed using some of the recipes at home. The teacher led the class really well and the facilities at Ground Up cookery school are fantastic! I'd definitely recommend this course - it's great fun and excellent value for money!

Really enjoyed my day learning about fermentation. I will definitely book another course soon.

Brilliant informative day course with plenty of hands on and your own saurkraut to take home! A great learning experience matched with Colin’s culinary expertise, made for a thoroughly enjoyable day. Thank you!

I have attended 4 courses at ground up cookery’s new location since January. A great venue and amazing courses. You learn, and get to taste so much!! Colin is very knowledgeable and I am looking forward to attending more courses in the future and thoroughly recommend them for anyone with an interest in food, foraging or improving their kitchen skills.

Inspirational, will start looking for elderflowers and other edible plants to use in dishes

This day really exceeded our expectations. Colin was a great host - knowledgable and entertaining - and we learned so much on the walk, including that many of the plants we had considered as weeds in our gardens were in fact edible! We were then able to put this into practice in the practical cookery session, in which we received just the right amount of guidance to allow us to experiment but not go too far astray. The day then was then rounded off beautifully by enjoying a glass of wine and the fruits of our labours!
All really interesting and stimulating, and highly recommended.

This was a really well run course, Colin was very knowledgeable and took the time to pass on this knowledge to us all walking us through the beautiful local countryside explaining the various do's and don'ts.
It was great to then spend the time turning the ingredients into food and lovely to sit and eat it together with all the other participants of the course.
The school is very well equipped, tastefully decorated and the contents of Colin's 'larder' provide an inspiration as to where your foraging journey might take you!
Thoroughly Recommended!

Well, what an experience we had and Colin was such a hospitable host along with his knowledge and easy personable welcoming manner all the way through our fabulous alternative day. Also a big thank you to Tasha from booking a big surprise for my hubby Paul on the quiet 🤫 and assistance during the cooking process afternoon, along with your amazing polite son that cleared up after us all 👏🏻😊 Just also would like to thank Colin for the care and attention with his knowledge of Paul's knee condition walking for any assistance if required. Thank you so much and hopefully we will see you again ☺️
