Meeting and pickup

Meeting point

Meet Kit at his home in Ticehurst, Sussex. This is a 1.5 hour train ride from London. Let Kit know ahead of time and he can pick you up from the station. If you are driving in your own car, meet Kit directly at his home. For more details please check the 'before you go' section in your voucher.

End point
This activity ends back at the meeting point.

What to expect

This is not a market tour, rather a tour of Kit's local farm producers. Meet your host Kit at his home before taking a half-hour trip to Hastings, one of the oldest beach-launching fishing fleets in the UK. Meet the local fisherman, get a quick tour of the boats and purchase fish that you will bring back to cook during your cooking class. On your way back, you will stop at Cooper’s Farm, a small farm with Sussex cattle and pigs in the woods. Meet a passionate farmer, and friend of Kit's, and learn about how they raise cattle organically. Your local producer tour will last about two hours.

We recommend bringing sneakers or appropriate footwear, as well as a jacket or raincoat, since you will be outside touring local farms and exploring the pastures.

Join your host Kit at his farmhouse kitchen and learn to cook a local, gourmet English meal in this Sussex cooking class. Your meal will be created from recipes handed down to Kit from his mother, which he has perfected and added his own flavor to over the years.
