Chef Wout will lead you and your guests through the preparation of a seasonal, locally sourced 3-course Scottish menu. Get hands on experience of working with our cherished Angus produce and learn insider-knowledge of some of your favourite ingredients and dishes. Once you have prepared your menu you can sit down, relax and enjoy the fruits of your labour with exclusive paired wines. Equipment, crockery and cutlery included.

⛰ IN-SITU PICNIC🍴
Soak in the sun with our filled luxury Angus produce hampers. These are ideal if you're planning an outdoor celebration, a walk through our breathtaking landscape or a special lunch.
