Why Saturday Kitchen Theme?

Hartleys Events regularly used to work with the team at Saturday Kitchen and worked in partnership with them to set up the corporate element at one of Michel Roux Juniors cookery schools at the Cactus Kitchens at the site.   Kate would often meet celebrities such as Aled Jones for a sing song by the coffee machine at the Former Saturday Kitchen  James Martin left Saturday Kitchen, and put his name to the Chewton Glen Kitchen   Its was at the Chewton Glen that Paul Hartley our Head Chef was head hunted to re-inspire the Bakery.  He would say that he was the seed that imparted  the vision and  inspiration for the Chewton Glen Cookery School.  Just incase you missed his wonderful credentials.
