Community cooking classes

Providing cookery classes for our local community is at the heart of why Central Street Cookery School was opened in 2012. We wanted a fully-equipped, modern kitchen area where we could offer excellent facilities for private hire, that would then fund our mission to get the local community - from toddlers to the elderly - learning about healthy home cooking on a budget and avoiding food waste.

About the centre

Our modern Community Centre provides a space for local people to gather and socialise, and for us and other organisations to deliver services and activities for the local community at little or no cost.
