Recent reviews of Knife Skills Class

• 5/5 from Geeta Nanavati, attended Jul 2026: The knife skills course was incredibly interesting - we learnt the different types of knife for different purposes, as well as good care of theses knives. The hosts were lovely and accommodated my dietary preferences. We picked up ‘cheffy’ techniques and learnt a valuable life skill too - prepping a whole chicken and filleting a fish, before sitting down to a meal amongst good company of like-minded people. A great evening.

• 5/5 from Michelle Telfer, attended Apr 2026: I really enjoyed the class and learnt a lot! The teacher was very friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth. The assistant was lovely too! The food that we prepared that the teacher cooked was top notch! and im looking forward to recieving the recipies so I can try and recreate them at home. I would definitely recommend this course to others and have done so already. The skills I learnt and the advice we were given re: knife care will make my cookery journey so much easier. Im excited to enrol in one of the other courses they offer...im thinking Indian cookery next. A big thank you to all!!
• 5/5 from Paul Lightbody, attended Jan 2026: Informative and informal
• 5/5 from Ruby Ali-Newman, attended Oct 2025: This professional chef-led class was so much fun! The chef was knowledgeable and showed us everything from how to properly hold and care for a knife to filleting a fish and butchering a whole chicken step by step. There was hands-on help, great tips along the way, and I got to enjoy an amazing meal at the end.
• 5/5 from Lewis Furlong, attended Oct 2025: Thoroughly enjoyed this. It was exactly what I was after. I learnt so much and then got to eat the food which was fantastically cooked by John the Chef. I am absolutely going to book more classes and would highly recommend this
• 5/5 from Luke Reynolds, attended Mar 2025: Great fun! Clear teaching! Was taught how to care, hold and control the knives properly. Very comfortable setting, would definitely recommend
• 5/5 from Stuart Bryden, attended Jan 2025: Teacher was excellent. Clear guidance and good advice.
• 5/5 from James Housley, attended Nov 2024: Loved it! We covered how to prepare vegetables, chicken and fish, and the teacher cooked everything up as we went along so we had more than enough food to eat at the end. I'd definitely recommend it
• 5/5 from Steve Downes, attended Sep 2024: Booked onto course as I needed to enhance my cookery skills, especially the preparation of foods and using the knives properly. The instructor was excellent - showed us how to hold the knives and food properly, and we were able to use them on a variety of foods and cuts. All the time we were using the knives he would be observing and assisting us to get the skills. We started by jointing a chicken (something that I would not have even tried prior to the course), then moved onto dicing and slicing vegetables, and then onto something I've always wanted to learn how to do - cleaning and filleting fish! Really good course, fantastic instructor and materials were perfect for us to learn on. And then to be served with the food we had prepared cooked superbly was the real icing on the cake!
• 5/5 from Morag, attended Sep 2024: The experince was brilliant from start to finish and we (my husband, Dave and I) learned so much during the 3.5 hours we were there. Our knife skills were pretty much non existant at the start, but we now have an idea how to use various different types of knives and how to care for them too. It was great to learn knife skills to prepare different foods i.e a great variety of vegetables and how to prepare them in different ways, chopping herbs, deboning a chicken and filleting a fish. We got through so much in a short space of time, then to top it off we got to eat the food that was cooked for us from the veg, meat and fish we had prepared. It was fantastic from start to finish and we would definitely look to book another experience in the future. Thank you so much
• 5/5 from Hayley Carr, attended Jul 2024: I attended the knife skills course run by John. Great course learning how to joint a chicken, fillet a mackerel and slice, dice and julienne vegetables. Really enjoyable course from a friendly and knowledgeable chef, and you get to eat the food at the end. Thank you
