Children are being given the chance to learn how to cook like Raymond Blanc — by two chefs that trained with the French master.

Abi Rose and business partner Chris Bentham will take over the Black Boy pub in Old High Street, Headington, next month and will run kids' classes on Sundays.

Mrs Rose said the idea was to get children thinking about food in new and healthy ways and improve their understanding of what they eat.

The chefs have almost twenty years catering experience between them. Mrs Rose said: "Chris worked with Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir and at Le Petit Blanc for nine years and I worked at Le Petit Blanc for four years.

"I have young children and they love to cook and learn about what they are making, where things come from, and try new things."
