We can highly recommend the Ground Up Cookery School's Seashore Foraging and Cookery day. Colin's knowledge of the coastline and it's culinary delights is second to none and we always come away buzzing and ready to put what we've learnt into practice.
We've already booked the Fish and Shellfish Cookery course as an early Christmas present to ourselves. Many thanks to Colin and the team :-)

From off shore to on shore I was completely awakened to just how much plant life we have around us. Colin was incredibly knowledgeable and it was a great experience and a day well spent.
Kitchen School is fabulous and making our own dishes was great, recipes were well explained and made with ease.
Thank you I will be definitely coming back.
Kind Regards

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.
