So, where is Best Home Cook filmed? Is it somewhere viewers can go and visit?
Best Home Cook – BBCWhere is Best Home Cook filmed?
Britain’s Best Home Cook has been running now for two years. Onto its second series in 2020, Best Home Cook sees 10 contestants live alongside each other during the eight-part competition.
The BBC series is filmed at not one, but two, locations.
The show is set in both Pinewood Studios, London as well as a Victorian mansion in Ascot, Berkshire.
The 10 contestants live together in the Ascot house, while the actual cooking challenges take place in the TV studios.
The Daily Mail describes the £4million mansion: “Hidden behind wrought-iron gates, the 5,300 sq ft mansion in Ascot, Berkshire, has its own pool and can sleep up to 28 guests.”

Can you visit the Best Home Cook mansion?
Yes, the mansion is likely to be open to anyone who can afford to stay there. But for The Daily Mail’s reported £2,250 per night fee, it’s unlikely to be something everyone can afford to do.
The Daily Mail report that “production company Keo is thought to have negotiated a substantial discount on the price of £33,000 to rent it in January and February.”
The mansion is set within four acres of woodland and offers a swimming pool and tennis courts.
