Seaside visits for over 55s

Every summer we take groups of our older members on day trips to seaside resorts as a way of escaping the bustle of the city. We try to make these trips as inexpensive as possible for those who come along, and this year we are fundraising to subsidise these trips. For just a £5 donation, one person can go on a seaside trip free of charge.

Monthly cookery club

One evening every month we invite an expert chef to come to Central Street Cookery School and deliver a specialised class for those interested in learning new skills and cooking a delicious meal in a friendly group.
Family Cookery Workshops

In conjunction with our corporate partners, Hogan Lovells and Clerkenwell Waitrose, we are able to invite local families on low income to our workshops that focus on teaching family recipes that are low cost and nutritious.
Bilingual Cookery Club

The purpose of these classes is that of integrating members of different communities by cooking both in English and in native languages so food is used as a medium of communication. English speakers keen on learning second language are welcome to join.
Over 55s Baking Sessions

We like to have a lot of fun at St Luke’s and each month we have a tea party for our elderly members. Central Street Cookery School contributes to the fun by making cakes for these celebrations.
Multicultural Cookery Club

St Luke's offers a monthly session of cultural and culinary exchanges, where members from various backgrounds get together to cook and enjoy a lovely meal inspired by their cultures, exchanging recipes, ideas and cooking styles.
Family Cook and Eat

Every Monday afternoon we welcome families to join us for our amazing family cookery clubs. Each week one of our chefs devises wonderful recipes from the food delivered from generous organisations who would otherwise have to throw it away.

About the Cookery School
