Classes from £95 at this bespoke cookery school include one-to-one tuition tailored to your specific skill level and dietary requirements. The Old Bakehouse, run by Annabel in South Cerney near Cirencester, focuses on hands-on teaching of nutritious home cooking techniques in a personalised setting.

The school specialises in general cookery rather than baking specifically, though operates from a venue called The Old Bakehouse by the Lake. Classes accommodate all skill levels and can be adapted for various dietary needs. The intimate approach means each session is crafted around what participants want to learn, making it suitable for complete beginners through to more experienced home cooks seeking to refine particular techniques.

Half-day sessions lasting three hours provide a focused introduction to specific cooking skills, while full-day classes extend to six hours for more comprehensive exploration of techniques and recipes. The Cook & Stay Package combines a full-day cookery experience with overnight accommodation for up to six people, including breakfast and representing particular value for groups wanting to make a proper occasion of their learning.

The school caters well to special occasions, welcoming hen parties and offering date night experiences for couples. Children are also accommodated, suggesting family-friendly sessions can be arranged. Gift vouchers provide flexibility for those wanting to give cookery experiences as presents.

The lakeside setting and accommodation option distinguish this school from typical cookery venues, creating opportunities for immersive cooking breaks. The bespoke nature of classes makes it ideal for anyone wanting personalised instruction in a relaxed, private environment rather than larger group settings.
