Harts of Stur hosted a ticketed culinary experience in its Coffee Loft, featuring renowned chef Lesley Waters and her talented assistant chef for the evening, Steve James. The event took place on October 30.

Ms Waters is widely recognised for her appearances on popular TV cookery shows such as Ready Steady Cook, This Morning, and more recently alongside James Martin on his Saturday morning program. Over the years, her career has evolved to include authoring acclaimed cookbooks and establishing her highly regarded Cookery School in Shaftesbury, Dorset.

Joining her was Steve James, a multi-award-winning personal chef serving Somerset and Dorset. A self-taught culinary expert, Mr James honed his skills at Lesley Waters Cookery School and now plays a key role as one of its lead instructors. He specialises in supper clubs and private dining experiences at his Somerset farmhouse and is also a respected recipe developer, with his creations featured in magazines, online publications, and radio shows. Additionally, Mr James collaborates with local photographers as a food stylist.image00010 Harts of Stur hosts culinary experience
