For the one who has not spent enough time in the kitchen!
Often referred to as our founding ingredient, the cookery school perhaps best showcases our love of the land. The ‘Master a Dish’ class is the perfect gift for a foodie friend or someone who needs a little practice!
We offer private experiences as well as a scheduled ‘master a dish’ in our calendar of happenings.
You will be guided by an expert Thyme chef, learning our ‘field to plate’ techniques. Classes usually start in the kitchen garden, showing guests how and where the produce is grown before harvesting ingredients for their menu and enjoying the fruits of your labour over a glass of wine in the Ox barn.
Scheduled Master a Dish, £95
Private Master a Dish for 2 people, £450

The Ultimate Thyme
The crème de la crème of all gifts, the showstopper.
A three night stay allows true immersion and time to fully unwind and explore the beauty of Thyme. Arriving late afternoon, enjoy a refuelling glass of champagne or pot of tea in your room. Rifle through the carefully curated bookshelf to pick out a favourite for quiet moments between activities, or for delving into during long soaks in the bath. Enjoy an evening of feasting in the Ox Barn, delighting in the flavours and textures of the day’s produce.
Wake to the sounds of nothing but birds chirping. Take out a bicycle to nosey around the village or venture further afield along quiet country lanes.
Spend one-to-one time with our chefs in the kitchen and learn how to transform the garden’s herbs, fruits and vegetables into preserves, or pasta sauces, or staple canapés.
Indulge in a the carefully curated selection of silks, cashmere, ceramics, beauty products and tableware - irresistible, guilt, free shopping spree!
The next morning, feeling refuelled and energised, take to the farm for a walk past the bustling hedgerows as owls swoop overhead. Observe the native wildlife going about their daily rituals and walk to build up your appetite for the lunch ahead. Feeling suitably full, roll onto the Meadow Spa for a couples treatment, to the relaxing scent of rivermint.
