School of artisan food


Artisan Food … The craft of making real food by hand
...

We all know about turning water into wine, but let us show you how to turn water into bread, beer and jam. And milk into cheese, too…

At
The School of Artisan Food, we have passion, expertise and understanding, all under one roof. The roof in question shelters what was once the old fire station and stables for a distinguished ducal estate in the heart of Sherwood Forest near Nottingham. This magnificent courtyard has been refurbished as the UK’s first dedicated centre for artisan food producers and enthusiasts.

Choose from our range of short food courses - taught by tutors expert in their fields, these courses - covering dairy, baking, pickling and preserving, brewing and butchery - delve into fascinating food history as well giving an introduction to cutting-edge artisan food skills.
