A riverside tourist attraction which has been twice closed by recent flooding has launched a new cookery school for "intrepid foodies" fronted by celebrity chef Tim Maddams.
Otterton Mill, near Budleigh Salterton, in East Devon was briefly closed last July then again for two months over Christmas after the Otter river flooded.
After reopening last month, the beleaguered business is seeking to get back on its feet with a new venture featuring ethical food campaigner Tim, who was previously Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's head chef at River Cottage.
The announcement comes after the company won a coveted contract to run the cafe at Exeter's award-winning Royal Albert Memorial Museum in December.
Simon and Caroline Spiller, who run the 1,000-year-old working watermill, café-restaurant and food shop, have teamed up with Mr Maddams' creative food company Green Sauce to create the school.
Mr Spiller said the Westcountry chef's passion for natural, local, seasonal and wild food "fits perfectly" with the couple's own ethos.
"His food knowledge and entertaining style are inspirational," said Mr Spiller.
Mr Maddams, who met his wife-to-be in Devon before settling in the region, has promised "wild food days and the occasional foraging and fishing trips" along with more traditional events.
"It seems like a natural partnership and in nice surroundings in which to spend a day talking about, and working with, fantastic local, wild and seasonal produce," he added.
