  • A wonderful location for children 9+ to learn cooking in a very welcoming, friendly environment. The After School Class is an excellent course. Having looked at a number of kids cookery schools, this one seems to offer the best option in terms of flexibility, varied classes and real skills that allow children to progress over time. My kids were absolutely amazed by these classes, the tutor was great! They want to take more lessons now. Would recommend it.
