Fine Dining Academy
Rising Star Apprenticeship
In addition to the day to day running of the cookery school the Academy also coaches new talent to become proficient restaurateurs capable of running a financially viable fine-dining experience. Coaching includes financial management, marketing, sales and business development, strategic thinking and tactical development.
Rising Stars spend time in each of the Group’s restaurants honing their skills and ultimately, if good enough, get given their own restaurant to run and develop with enough freedom to express their own individualism and personality.

Learn to cook with the UK’s finest cheffing talent
The 10 in 8 Group collection includes the Fine Dining Academy cookery school. At this cookery school with a difference guests are taught the creative and technical skills required to prepare and deliver a fine-dining experience at home.
All of our courses at the Academy are presented by one of our Michelin-starred chefs, keen to introduce you to new ideas and a day of culinary activities. The courses are suitable for all levels of experience, whether a beginner, an enthusiast or a professional chef.
The courses are not simply about cooking techniques; they give you the chance to socialise, learn more about your passion, and enjoy delicious food and wine within the beautiful rural setting of Yattendon. They also give you the opportunity to grill our chefs (not literally!) on the best methods and ingredients – whatever question you come up with, they will advise to the best of their knowledge!
