The Penninghame Cooking School, is a destination school, located in the beautifully restored stables at at Penninghame Estate, Dumfries and Galloway.

The focus here is on learning to cook in a relaxed intimate setting using the freshest, local seasonal ingredients.

We will teach you the basics and inspire you with the confidence and more importantly the skills to cook for yourself, your friends and families. Our approach to food is simple, modern and imaginative. We love sharing our ideas for delicious food and are constantly finding fresh sources of inspiration to bring to our classes.

As in our restaurant, we use seasonal, local or homegrown produce wherever we can. In fact, our cookery school overlooks our vegetable garden, where you might even pick your own ingredients.

Our vision is to provide a relaxing fun environment where individuals, friends families or work colleagues can enjoy a great day cooking together and then enjoy the fruits of their labour in the dining room or in the courtyard enjoying the late evening sunshine.
