Update: business as usual (February 10)

It's business as usual at River Cottage.

Despite the widely-reported events of Tuesday night, our beautiful 65-acre site at Park Farm was largely unaffected by the fire in our commercial kitchen.

We can now confirm that courses and events at River Cottage HQ will return to normal from Friday 24 February onwards.

We are finalising the detail and will let you know our plans over the next few days.

But what we can tell you is that River Cottage courses and events will, if anything, be even better than before.

Our expert team, lead by host Steve Lamb and head chef Gill Meller, will make sure the high standards you come to expect from us are raised once again.

"We have been overwhelmed with offers of help and support, and we're delighted we've turned things around so quickly," said head chef Gill.

"Our courses and events will be back to normal from February 24 onwards, and we're looking forward to getting back to what we do best," he added.

"Come and say hello to us in our Axminster and Plymouth Canteens in the meantime. Our enthusiasm for great River Cottage food is infectious and you won't stop us cooking, that's for sure.

"We are working with an amazing team to get the new kitchen up and running. 

"It might sound a little odd, but it's a really exciting time.

"We're back, and it'll be even better than before."

We're in positive mood and we'd love to see you down here at River Cottage HQ.

As usual tickets for Cookery School, days courses and evening events are available to buy from our website.

Our Get Growing in Spring event on the weekend of March 24/25 will go ahead. Come and celebrate the start of the growing season with the team off the telly. Full line-up

See you soon.
