Why not make your own lunch or dinner at our Cookery School as part of your event?

This is a fun team-building and learning experience which will get everyone involved. We can arrange bespoke corporate events for up to 20 people. Create an Italian feast in a two-hour session with a private teacher over lunchtime. Alternatively, book a slot at the end of your event and make authentic Spanish tapas, followed by a glass of wine. Or have fun making mouth-watering cocktails! We offer cooking demonstrations by experienced chefs, showing how to make sushi, the perfect steak, homemade chocolate and other yummy foods. You name it, we can organise it!
