Michelin-starred cuisine and magnificent English countryside are the cornerstones of Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons. The brainchild of celebrated chef Raymond Blanc, this 32-room manor house in bucolic Oxfordshire has been a gastronomic destination for Londoners since 1984. The grounds include a two-acre garden that provides vegetables and herbs for the heralded restaurant and the Raymond Blanc Cookery School and Gardening School. Take a half-day class or in-depth course; you can even join the kitchen team for a day. A walk through the organic garden or enjoy falconry with our very own birds of prey.
