River Cottage HQ

You’ll be greeted with wild hedgerows, tumbling Devonshire countryside and fields full of veg as you arrive at River Cottage HQ. You’re bound to recognise the white cottage from Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s TV shows and cookbooks, from which he has become well-known for his commitment to seasonal food and ethical philosophies. It’s a special place for amateurs and experts alike to immerse themselves in wonderful food, amazing experiences and the good life. River Cottage is rooted in self-sufficiency and wholesomeness, and the dedicated team aspires to connect people to the kitchen and natural landscape through accessible cookery courses. Whether you fancy cheese making, bread making, or want to learn how to keep bees, grow veg or cure meat, there’s something for everyone here. Offering unique dining experiences, memorable events and weddings, you’ll come away feeling inspired, connected and clued-up. Cookery course prices range from £145 to £780.
