The Manor Kitchen Experiences
Step into the heart of the Manor, where the kitchen is warm, the pace is unhurried, and food is made the way it always should be — with care, conversation, and a little magic.
Our Manor Kitchen Experiences are intimate, hands-on culinary gatherings hosted by our very own Chef Laura.
Each experience is thoughtfully themed and designed to celebrate tradition, simple luxury, and the joy of creating something beautiful together.

Your Invitation to the Manor Table
A limited-seat Manor Kitchen Experience where fresh pasta, fine company, and a thoughtfully prepared dinner unfold at an unhurried pace.
Request Your Place at The Table!What’s Included….
These experiences are intentionally small, personal, and unhurried — the kind of afternoon where time slows, conversations linger, and memories are made over shared plates.
More themed Manor Kitchen Experiences are coming soon, each with their own story to tell. This is just the beginning.
Linger A Little Longer
There’s no rush to leave — linger a little longer with an optional, discounted overnight stay in one of our Manor suites.
Available exclusively to Manor Kitchen Experience guests, overnight stays are offered in the Parisian Suite or the Sandpiper Suite on the night of your Kitchen Experience, subject to availability.
If you’re interested in adding an overnight stay, please email us at info@ladysmithmanor.com to enquire.
The perfect way to end an evening well spent — no drive home required.

Have Questions? We Have Answers….
How many people are in each Manor Kitchen Experience?
To keep our Manor Kitchen Experiences warm, relaxed, and truly hands-on, each class is intentionally kept small.
Guest numbers are limited to 6 in each experience to ensure everyone has plenty of space, personal guidance from Chef Laura, and time to enjoy both the cooking and the shared meal together.
What should I wear, and do I need to bring anything?
We recommend wearing comfortable clothing you don’t mind getting a little flour-dusted — aprons are provided. Closed-toe shoes are encouraged for safety in the kitchen.
Everything you need for the experience is supplied, so there’s nothing you need to bring except your appetite and a readiness to enjoy yourself.
Are children allowed to attend Manor Kitchen Experiences?
At this time, our Manor Kitchen Experiences are designed for adults and are best suited to guests aged 16 and over. This helps ensure a relaxed, hands-on environment where everyone can fully participate and enjoy the experience.
Is this experience suitable for beginners?
Absolutely. This experience is designed for all skill levels, including complete beginners.
Chef Laura will guide you step-by-step through the process, so no prior cooking experience is needed — just a willingness to get hands-on and have fun.
Is this a hands-on class or a demonstration?
This is a fully hands-on experience. You’ll be actively involved in every step — from making and shaping the pasta to preparing the sauce and enjoying the meal you’ve created together.
Will you be offering other themed Manor Kitchen Experiences?
Yes. Our pasta experience is just the beginning.
We’ll be introducing a rotating series of thoughtfully themed Manor Kitchen Experiences throughout the year, each inspired by season, tradition, and the joy of gathering around the table.
New experiences will be announced as they’re released, with limited spaces available.
