If I purchase this cookery class can the recipient exchange it for another class of their preference?
Yes, vouchers can be exchange for other classes, if there is a short-fall in the value, they can pay the difference.

I’m beginner, what class should I do?
The class is small and taught by a professional chef, so all you need is a little cooking experience and our chef tutor will guide you through each of the recipes on the day. If you are completely new to cooking you may want to attend our ‘Introduction to Cooking’ class before others.

I am an experienced cook, are all the courses suitable for me?
This class is designed for a group with mixed abilities, whether you are a seasoned cook or not, we are confidant you will go away with new knowledge, skills and recipes.

Please wear comfortable clothes and comfortable shoes. Please do not wear any open toed shoes or flip-flops for health and safety reasons.

Do you have facilities to purchase equipment on the day?
You will be able to purchase a good selection of equipment that you will use in the class, as well as a variety of spices.
