What People Are Saying

  • The Cloughan Farm Cookery School with Fiona was a dream come true! I took her cooking class as part of a group trip and I was so glad to be able to have this experience. What a gift to be able to cook delicious food and tour the farm to see exactly where each ingredient came from. Fiona made all of us feel like we were right at home and I really can’t recommend this experience enough. My dream scenario would be to live on her farm and cook in her school full time!!

  • What Fiona and her husband have created is spectacular. I was there with a group of discerning ladies who know quality produce and cooking, and we are all still raving about the place. I look forward to going back again. Fiona herself is an amazing lady and a hard worker who deserves every success. Great to have a gem like this on the borders of Longford-Westmeath

  • I cannot even begin to describe what an amazing experience this was. We took our family of seven and had the most wonderful time! Fiona is an utter joy to be around, and the food we learned to make was delicious! The setting is gorgeous, straight our of a storybook!

  • What a gem. Thanks to a group of Ukrainian women I have had a great night.
    Went to Fiona’s cookery school and had a wonderful time watching and learning how to cook better. Fiona and her husband Michael were wonderful hosts and gave plenty of time for the lessons to be translated so the Ukrainian women could understand. The best part of the night was when we got to eat the food Fiona cooked and some delightful treats the Ukrainian women had made earlier

  • This cookery experience was SO FUN!!!!! Six longtime friends created some amazing memories with Fiona, Michael and Lena at Cloughan Farm and Cookery School. Our husbands were a bit skeptical but it didn’t take long for them to get onboard and realize everyone’s participation in creating a meal of beef and Guinness stew, Granny’s brown bread, riced potatoes and summer berry meringue Roulade could be so FABULOUS. What genuinely warm and hospitable friends we made that day!!
