Occombe Farm Cookery School

Discover sausage-making secrets, create impressive cakes, master bread baking, and learn excellent dinner party dishes for creating maximum results with minimal fuss which make impressive feasts, with recipes inspired from all corners of the world. The Occombe Cookery School workshops, run by Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust, are designed to be fun and enjoyable hands-on days out and you’re sure to leave armed with a large basket of tasters to take home as well as a variety of new skills. The workshops showcase why the soils of the English Riviera Geopark create the best of easily available local ingredients too, including meat reared at Occombe itself and the freshest vegetables, fruit and herbs harvested from their own garden.

The Occombe Farm Cookery School and Torbay Coast and Countryside Trust also organises Geopark Discovery Packages, including the Sea to Plate day, which includes a fishing trip followed by seafood lunch from Michelin-star celebrity chef Simon Hulstone at his Elephant Restaurant.
