Luxury boutique hotel, Fishmore Hall in Shropshire, is giving budding chefs and food fanatics the opportunity to become a chef for the day with their 'Shop and Cook with the Chef' package. Venture off into the picturesque market town of Ludlow to explore the famed Ludlow Food Centre, independent delis and quirky artisan producers, before taking the reins in the kitchen to prepare an opulent evening meal.
After guests have handed back their toques, they are invited to indulge in the sumptuous three course meal created with ingredients purchased in the morning, before retiring for a well deserved overnight stay in the luxurious bedrooms.
Just a short 10 minute stroll into Ludlow, one of the finest historic towns in the UK, Fishmore Hall is easily accessible from the A49 and set in the breathtaking Shropshire countryside. The contemporary country house hotel welcomes those looking for a relaxed break in one of the most unspoilt counties in England. Guests that book the Shop and Cook package will be invited into the kitchen of innovative Head Chef Andrew Birch to create delicious delicacies before trying them out for themselves in the heart of the hotel, the Forelles restaurant that has recently been re-awarded the prestigious accolade of 3AA Rosettes.
Originally from Swansea, Wales, Andrew Birch has previously been awarded Welsh Chef of the Year in 2004, Young Chef Apprentice of Britain in 2005, Young Chef Apprentice of Europe in 2005, and was a finalist in the Roux Regional Scholarship in 2006.
