The school was opened in 2006 with Jill Vickers teaching private tuition at a very basic cookery level and has grown over the past 4 years so that we now have 3 chefs teaching every Saturday a range of cuisines from basic to advanced level in a brand new purpose built cookery school. The school started off using the farmhouse kitchen but we were lucky enough to receive an EMDA grant to help fund the expansion of the business. Hence this year we have just built a brand new cookery school with 6 Falcon range cookers in a specially designed teaching kitchen on the ground floor and a dining room to seat 24 people upstairs.
The new premises has allowed us to expand our range of services and we now offer not only cookery course, cookery demonstrations, corporate team building but also meeting room facilities and the kitchen can be used as a development kitchen.
Why is it called Bridge 67 Cookery School
We often get asked this question and the answer is because the grand union canal runs through the farm. All bridges over the canal are named and numbered. Hence we named the farm Binleys Bridge Farm and the cookery school Bridge 67 after the name and number over the bridge.
We aim to provide skills that are useful in everyday cooking as well as when entertaining. With only small groups on each cookery course there is plenty of time for individual attention.
We not only teach you about cooking, we also teach you about where to shop for food, how to store food and the different types of foods you can buy for different recipes.
All courses are both a mixture of hands on and demonstrations and cover a range of cooking methods, foods and cooking skills.
