Rick Stein’s Cookery School

Join us at Rick Stein’s Cookery School where you’ll learn to cook with the freshest fish and other locally sourced ingredients to create culinary wonders here in Padstow.

Enjoy demonstrations from our expert chefs, hands-on cookery, and plenty of time to enjoy the fruits of your labour with unmatched views over the Camel Estuary, we’ll teach you how to create impressive dishes by Rick’s classic recipes and inspiration from his travels around the world.

We offer a range of cookery experiences, from one dish workshops and tasting evenings to four day courses and private courses or events for special celebrations and corporate get-togethers.

Where it all started

Rick started the Cookery School to give the chefs from The Seafood Restaurant a bit more intensive training, preparing and cooking fish and shellfish. As time went on we started running a few courses for aspiring cooks, which was an instant success with the public but the principle remains the same, teaching by chefs who really know what they’re doing.

Our recently refurbished kitchen from Howdens, designed with Jill Stein, ensures you still work with the very best equipment and learn new skills during your visit.
