Please note: Postcode based satellite navigation systems and internet route planers will not guide you to the cookery school. We are slightly off the beaten track so please refer to our directions below so that you find us easily.
By car
The school is most easily approached by the A46:
Directions from the A46
1) At the roundabout where the B439 from Stratford-upon-Avon joins the A46, take the road sign-posted to Salford Priors.
2) After a quarter of a mile you pass a church on the left (set back from the road so easily missed) and take the next turn right into School Road.
3) Follow the road for a further quarter of a mile and turn left into our drive by a tall, crooked pine tree, signed to Angus Soft Fruits (If you see a telephone box on the right you have passed the entrance to our drive).
4) There is a security gate half way up the drive. If it is closed please call us from the gate so that we can let you in - if the phone is not answered please do not leave a message on the answer phone but try again in a few minutes.
5) After the fourth sleeping policeman there is a large barn on the right, bear left off the concrete and you will come to the back of the house.
