Saturday Really Useful and Chalet Course
-
My friend and I attended the Saturday Really Useful and Chalet Course and learned a lot! I had made some of the dishes few times before but the class really improved my cookery skills and was a lot of fun! I would highly recommend The Avenue London Cookery School. The facilities are great and instructor very knowledgable and with a good sense of humour! At the end, we all had a sit down dinner to enjoy the fruits of our labour, which was a nice touch. 10 out of 10!

We spent a fantastic afternoon at the Avenue Cookery School for a friend's hen party. We were welcomed with wine and freshly baked bread, walked through some of the techniques we'd need for the day, and guided through the preparation of three delicious courses, which we all enjoyed eating during our formal sit down meal at the end of the day. The Avenue team were so helpful and fun and it was just what the hen needed. A big thank you to Sophie who was really responsive to the endless questions and menu planning we had beforehand. Everything ran so smoothly, we had a brilliant time.
