  • 5/5 from Dom Selby, attended Jul 2024: It was beyond great. Mihaly was a fantastic host, a friendly, kind family man who made the experience for the two of us brilliant. The restaurant and pottery class are all in the same sort of open space area, with the workshop towards the back of the room - guests filled the restaurant as the evening went on, it clearly has a great reputation. Cannot recommend enough. 10/10 idea for a surprise date (I was glad I went with it!)
  • 5/5 from Henna, attended Jun 2024: Class was amazing and Mihaly was so patient with us new beginners! I went with my husband as part of our anniversary. We had booked the date experience for £60pp which from the booking seems as though dinner and a glass of wine is included however once we finished our class & had dinner only to find out the meal/drink was not included. The description can be a bit misleading. However the class + Mihaly were absolutely fantastic :)
  • 5/5 from Elle Barnes, attended May 2024: My partner and I attended this class over the bank holiday weekend - it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We are not “arty” in any way and we’re complete beginners but our teacher Jago was amazing. He was patient and explained the technique really well. As a class of 2 it was perfect for getting the attention you needed! Couldn’t recommend enough! Brilliant way to try something new and fun! Extra credit goes to Jago for making us feel welcome, relaxed and making the class so fun! We will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 from Shannon Reeve, attended Mar 2024: This was a present for my boyfriend and we finally did it this Saturday - it was wonderful! The little studio, tucked in the back of a lovely Hungarian Restaurant has a relaxed at-home feel. We came in and got straight to work with Mihaly giving a quick yet instructive intro and all the help and tips we needed along the way. We both ended up making 6 pieces, which clearly showed our progression as we started to understand how to work the clay. After trying our hands at the wheel we were able to decorate our pieces with paint - we weren't rushed at all and had all the time and creative freedom we needed. Afterward, we enjoyed a lovely dinner in the Restaurant, which I highly recommend everyone to do. If you're already there you might as well!
  • 5/5 from Laura Davidson, attended Mar 2024: Great class! Managed to make 5 pieces each (10 in total). Super relaxed atmosphere, didn’t feel rushed at all and even had time to paint the pieces afterwards. Can’t wait to see the finished result ️
