Seasonal & Themed Courses

Our seasonal courses vary throughout the year. Take a look at our most current and up to date courses we have available.

Brilliant Barbecues

Great tips and cooking hints on this course. Lots of marinating of meats and seafood. We have 2 big barbecues with different heat spots, plenty of room to sit outside and enjoy the results.

We have been known to cook a whole leg of English lamb marinated in black treacle and other goodies. Tiger prawns might feature and a different take on Sausages!!

Christmas Without Tears

Christmas without Tears

Yes, it can be done!! This particular course will put your mind at rest and give you some good tips for the Big Meal and what to do with the leftover turkey! The �Piece de Resistance� for these course will be the �Ballotine�.

We will bone out 3 birds including pheasant, duck and turkey (for the November course I will get a large capon instead). The pheasant will be in the middle, then the duck and on the outside the turkey/capon. Each bird will be spread with Mark�s own special chestnut and local sausage stuffing. We will then roast and eat it!!!

All the recipes and others too will be in your folders. Your Christmas will be organised and fun as a result.

Game Cooking

Join us for a great day with some superb game.

Mark will feature local venison, locally shot pheasant and partridge, wild duck. He has also been given some wild venison joints which are in the freezer. These are mainly haunch (thigh) and shoulder. We will slow-cook these into casseroles.

Recipes will be simple and reflect the fact that the meat speaks for itself. The game will be supplied by James (friend of ours down the road), most of it shot by him, and he will spend 30 minutes with us explaining how they are shot, and how to pluck, draw etc.

For example on Boxing Day we are going to have Hot Ham with a honey and mustard glaze, Roasted Chicken in a delicious Marsala and cream sauce, Roasted Butternut Squash and Potato Mash with fresh Coriander, Red Cabbage, Dark Chocolate Roulade and Malteser Parfait!! All easy prepare (All except the hot ham can be cooked and frozen in advance).
