The school's atmosphere lends itself to fun, learning and participation. All private hire/corporate days are different. Each company or group's requirements will always vary from another's. We are here to help you enjoy your special day with minimum fuss and we will work out with you what you need and what you require from us.

A typical day will start with tea/coffee on arrival then introductions. For corporate use we can split the group into two to create the healthy, fun competition or we can leave you in a single group for a relaxed cookery lesson.

Jean Christophe then guides the students through some of his famous signature dishes and the day continues with a mix of demonstration, practical cookery sessions, tips, discussions and of course tasting and eating these magnificent meals from starter through to main and sweet. We provide everybody with recipe cards so that you can easily recreate these dishes at home.

The facilities at Crouchmoor Farm make the ideal studio location for cookery based film or photographic projects.

Situated in the picturesque Tea Green in rural Hertfordshire, the home of the acclaimed "Novelli Academy" is just ten minutes drive from Luton Airport with easy access from the M1 providing visitors from London with an easy 40 minute drive.

Crouchmoor Farm is spread across 5 acres of land with the main farm building entrance opening into the generously spaced kitchen and dual dining area. The Farm has dates back to the 14th Century and maintains many of it's original rustic features including beautifully beamed ceilings and original stone flooring, all contributing to the perfect creative atmosphere.

The kitchen itself is fitted with all modern appliances and is easily large enough to accommodate a camera and lighting crew, leaving plenty of spare room for the subject matter in the actual cooking area. The kitchen opens into a larger patio and garden area at the rear of the farm providing good natural light, weather permitting.

Large parking facilities are provided as well as a conference area for additional planning/direction meetings. We also provide kitchen staff if necessary including professional waiters and chefs.
