Chef KeshIf you are someone that likes to get your hands dirty in the kitchen then the new state of the art cookery school at Lucknam Park Hotel in Chippenham, Wiltshire will provide a playground of opportunity to test your culinary ambitions. Housed in a small house on the magnificent Lucknam Estate, the school offers a unique opportunity for anyone who enjoys cooking to perfect their skills and master new techniques through a variety of innovative courses led by Chef Hrishikesh Desai with the guidance of Lucknam Park’s Michelin starred Executive Chef Hywel Jones.
