OUR ETHOS
In the heart of our cooking courses in Yorkshire lies a steadfast commitment to sustainability and a harmonious relationship with nature. At the core of our ethos is the belief that culinary experiences should not only tantalize the taste buds but also contribute to the well-being of the environment. We take pride in following the codes of practice set forth by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) and aligning with the policies of the National Gamekeepers Organisation (NGO), embodying a responsible approach to sourcing ingredients.
Chef Lionel is not only a seasoned professional but also a fully licensed and insured practitioner. His dedication to sustainability and ethical sourcing is underscored by his active membership in both the BASC and the NGO. This not only ensures compliance with industry standards but also reflects a genuine commitment to responsible practices in every aspect of our culinary journey.
Sustainability is not just a buzzword for us; it's a way of life. We understand the delicate balance between taking advantage of nature's bounty and preserving it for generations to come. Chef Lionel, with his wealth of knowledge and expertise, guides our culinary experiences with a keen eye on seasonally available plants and animals. It's about working with nature, not against it.
The BASC and NGO memberships underscore our dedication to sustainable practices, providing a framework that aligns with our values. By following these codes of practice, we ensure that our hunting, fishing, and foraging activities are not only legal but also ethical. We prioritize the well-being of the ecosystem, promoting responsible gamekeeping and conservation practices that go hand in hand with our culinary pursuits.
Chef Lionel's membership in these organizations is a testament to his commitment to staying informed, continually learning, and upholding the highest standards in ethical gamekeeping. Our culinary experiences are not just about creating exceptional meals; they're about fostering a deeper connection with nature, understanding the nuances of each season, and appreciating the abundance it offers.
