The school forms part of a working farm breeding award winning herds of Aberdeen Angus and Highland cattle as well as Sheep and Gloucester Old Spot Pigs. It is set in the heart of the English countryside.

Consisting of 260 acres of water meadow pasture, Manor Farm, is based on the River Avon and is the heart of Eckington Manor. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty and consisting of delicately balanced river habitat it is essential that the whole farm is managed in an environmentally sensitive way. As a result, the farm is being managed under the government’s Environmental Stewardship Scheme which aims to achieve the highest level of environmental conservation. The cookery school is an essential part of the farm’s diversification. Perfectly complementing each other, both enable the long term sustainability of the landscape. Wherever possible ingredients for the Cookery School, The Shop and their luxury 5* gold awarded accommodation will be sourced direct from the farm.

Founder

Judy Gardner, the founder of the school, believes that life doesn’t get much better than good food in a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere.

She has spent her life working in the food industry – initially founding Garner’s Foods which specialised in quality pickles and dressings. She perfected all of the recipes herself, building a brand through the 90s which became synonymous with ‘the best’ amongst retailers and consumers alike.

Her next venture was the acclaimed Belle House restaurant in Pershore where modern dishes and relaxed surroundings have proven to be a winning combination.

In 2004, Judy bought Manor Farm in Eckington, with the aim of sharing her vision of modern entertaining with everyone. Her ambition was to create a cookery school that allowed guests to learn all sorts of skills by offering outstanding facilities set in a beautiful location but without losing a sense of fun.
