Afternoon Summer Barbecue cookery class returns!
Posted: 7 May 2013 by Jessica Chapman
‘The King of the Barbecue’ Chef Mark David returns this Summer with his popular ‘Afternoon Summer Barbecue’ cookery class.
This class debuted last year on 4th July with a unique and alternative American themed barbecue menu to celebrated American Independence Day.
This year, the class will run on Monday 8th July with a brand new set of dishes offering a fantastic variety of mains, sides, starters and desserts from all over the world. You will learn how to create marinades packed full of flavour to accompany your perfectly barbecued (and locally sourced) chicken, beef and fish mains.
The ‘Afternoon Summer Barbecue’ cookery class will run from 1.30pm to 7.30pm. Beginning in the cookery school, our delegates will prepare all the dishes to then be barbecued and enjoyed in the stunning Walled Garden on the Estate, with a class or wine or bottle of beer in hand.
The prefect gift idea to treat your friends, family or yourself this Summer!

Suttons Seeds kickstarts our herb garden
Posted: 5 April 2013 by Jessica Chapman
We are delighted to announce that we have partnered up with Suttons Seeds to create a flourishing cookery school herb garden on the beautiful Braxted Park estate.
Suttons Seeds has very kindly donated 50 packs of assorted herbs for us to sow in an attempt to create a fabulous garden boasting a variety of herbs. Our students will be able to take a stroll through the beautiful Walled Garden to come pick their own to use in their cooking- a solution that would be great in the long term.
When the herb seeds are sown, who knows what will be next, perhaps we'll try our hand at vegetables or fruit...Let’s just hope we don't see any more snow and the temperature warms up!
