PUPILS at a Worcestershire private school made their classes a little more tasty when they visited a top county hotel.

The 29 students from Abberley Hall had a flavour of French culture and cuisine in a two-hour session at the Elms Hotel, Abberley.

Chef Martin Pearn showed them how to cook French onion soup and lobster thermidor, followed by a lesson in bread-making by the hotel's pastry chef.

The visit was rounded off by making mousse au chocolat.
