Parul tried our Italian cooking class and shared this glowing review: 

We booked a pasta class with Luca for a large hen party. We enjoyed the private venue setting and the flexibility offered during the class (giving us time to socialise in between). The appetisers and drinks served were delicious. I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a group activity – small or large – he offers lots of different options as well to suit different levels of skillsets and best of all he is quick to respond and caters to different personal choices.

Lisa tried out our bento cake decorating class and shared this review:

Found this gem of a workshop for my friends’ hen party, and we had an amazing time! Reneé & Annika were super friendly, and the attention to detail and quality of work from both sisters was fantastic.
