Amazing experience! From start to finish we had so much fun! Everything was explained clearly but without making you feel like being back at school. The teacher was super knowledgeable and had many interesting facts and tips to share. The environment was sparkling clean and super modern with everything available to use if needed.
Would HIGHLY recommend!

Alana • Nov 2023

This was such a wholesome activity to do in London! We really enjoyed our time here, cooking up Korean dishes and meeting new people. Would 100% recommend to anyone who’s looking for a fun and unique activity to do in London.

Steve Dalton • Nov 2023

A great afternoon! The room was easy to find; workspaces were well set out; the equipment was just right for the tasks; there were helpers on hand for advice and above all the chef/teacher was excellent. We learned a lot about the science behind the cooking, but acquiring the practical skills was the highlight of the day. We hadn't realised we would be making noodles from scratch, or getting a glimpse of how a professional uses a knife for chopping. Everyone around us seemed to be having a great time as well, so we will be recommending this place to all.

Victoria Powell • Nov 2023

I had a lovely time at The Avenue Bread Making class. The teacher was very engaging and encouraging and with her guidance we made five different types of bread. I bought them home to my family who were surprised and impressed and consumed everything with relish. I would highly recommend this day to anyone new to bread making.

Bianca • Nov 2023

We had a great time at the cooking class. The venue is great and the teachers are super friendly. There was a nice vibe with some Spanish music playing while you cook. All the food we made was delish and the wine didn't go amiss. Will definetely return.

Jonathan Taylor • Nov 2023

Great teacher. Had great fun and learnt a lot. Was good to cover a variety of different breads and actually take home the successful bakes. Setting was ideal with very good facilities and everything you needed. Would definitely look to go on another course here. Thanks a lot, Jonathan.

Blair Wallero • Nov 2023

This course was brilliant and well worth the money!

The atmosphere was really relaxed, but fun and the teachers were awesome.

Highly recommended

Mariana Teixeira • Nov 2023

Really fun masterclass and the setting is so cute! The teacher was very knowledgeable and engaging.

Megan Brusseau • Nov 2023

Such an amazing class! So fun and learned a lot. Want to do it again

David Montague • Nov 2023

My children purchased the class for me for my birthday, and to be honest I was slightly apprehensive about the event as I am not the normal cook of the household.

I had no reason to be concerned, it was the best fun ever. I got to do some real cooking, learnt loads of new things and met some really nice people.

The chef was great, and the instructions easy to follow. I definitely want to attend another event.

Shaun Pond • Nov 2023

We had a really fun time; the dishes were well explained, and tutors were on hand to check how things were going and to help anyone who needed it. There's a good, relaxed atmosphere at all times (I'm sure the bottomless wine had nothing to do with that ????). We ended up with a delicious meal; we could have eaten it at the end of the class, but we had a long drive home, so took it with us and reheated it - smashing.

Dominique Phipp • Nov 2023

Really lovely evening! The class was an intimate group of just 2 other pairs, so the teacher could circulate and support us lots as we cooked. We made a delicious meal and ate much of it at the end, and took a lot of leftovers home. Would definitely take another class. Also the wine was lovely!

Anonymised ClassBento student • Oct 2023

Good, clear instructions and very friendly team. Class size was just right for a good amount of support throughout.

All amazing, really fun and informative evening! Definitely returning for another class at some point

Anonymised ClassBento student • Oct 2023

I did the doughnut making class with my 10-year-old daughter and would recommend this course to everyone with a sweet tooth! The two of us had our own workstation. Everything was well organised and the staff were friendly. There was a good balance of hands-on cooking with explanation. The chef leading the course was clearly experienced. It was really helpful, having two or three staff members, wandering around to support us as we were making the doughnut dough. We were amazed at how our doughnuts turned out at the end – delicious with lovely fillings of chocolate, jam or fresh custard. Don’t forget Tupperware to take them home!

David Gill • Oct 2023

The evening was very well planned. Great instructions, good quality food and it also tasted amazing at the end!

Irene Forman • Sep 2023

My daughter and her boyfriend had a great time. It was a birthday present and they said it didn’t disappont

Food was good and the teacher was very engraging. The venue was a little hard to find and a bit of a journey from the station. The food tasted great and overall it was an enjoyable experience

Materials where very good prepared and the description from the teacher have been perfect

Dee Bryan • Jul 2023

The venue was very welcoming and clean, the whole ambience was a feel good vibe. The Teacher was excellent, first class.
The instructions were clear and the demonstration was easy to follow. Learned to make a pasta dish desert and basic knowledge about getting the best out of your ingredients.
Will recommend this class to friends and will re visit.
Thank you for the lovely experience.

It was an amazing, i could learn better how make pizza, correct mistakes. I really like it, i just miss to have the recepie!

Kenneth Bazley • Jul 2023

Excellent venue with plenty of space and high quality utensils, stoves and other equipment. There was A LOT of information to convey and maybe some of it could have been reduced but I also liked that Richard wanted us to know the whys and wherefores of using a particular method rather than just unquestioningly following a recipe. Its down to the individiual to concentrate if tjey want to learn. All in a good experience and I would happily do another course there.

Chris Charalambous • Jul 2023

Diana was fabulous and shared her vast knowledge in a fun and interactive way. This is the second class we have attended, and it won’t be the last! I recommend The Avenue Cookery School to my friends and any one keen to learn new skills and recipes over a memorable afternoon or evening. Thank you X

Helen Bradbury • Jul 2023

Great teacher who made the evening really interesting and fun with delicious recipes. We really enjoyed it. Thank you

Luisa Elmes • Jun 2023

Enzo was absolutely great! He was really fun and passionate about the cooking.

The workstation set-up was great. The environment was clean and all utensils were well supplied.

We were surprised to have been served wine and make a 3 course meal, we were not expecting this.

The teaching assistants were also great!

The only complaints were - one teaching assistant added salt to our our cooking without our permission and made it too salty. The other niggle was that the booking said gnocchi, risotto or pasta, we assumed we would have the option of which dish we wanted to cook when in reality we all made the same dish set by the company.

Overall we had a fab evening wining, cooking and dining and the money was well worth it. We will definitely be returning to do another class.

Teacher's response

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are delighted to see that you had a great time. The menu that will be covered in the class (gnocchi, pasta, risotto) is stated when you pick your class date. We would love to see you back for another class soon, Ax

Jeff Gale • Jun 2023

An absolute joy to attend this class!

The location is relaxing and well thought out. We were really made welcome when arriving and after a glass of wine, it was straight into the cooking (which I loved). I felt the time was really used well. I learnt far more than I had expected to and really wish I could attend every class here. It's that brilliant!

Nicolas Höck • May 2023

Great teacher, nice people, tasty doughnuts! If you are looking for a way make your Sunday more fun this is it!

Julie Heinisch • May 2023

Amazing class, would recommend for anyone that loves cooking or wants to start. The chefs very great and helpful at any moment.

Sofia Valenti • May 2023

The venue is very cool, and the teacher is amazing too.
The team was very welcoming and nice, all the questions were answered and the process of making the pastelas was clear and very detailed.
A bit too pricy.

This was our first class and we absolutely loved it! The teacher was amazing and so informative but it didn’t feel intimidating at all. The food was sensational and the bottomless wine was a massive bonus. Worth every penny :)

Robert Pierce • Apr 2023

We loved this experience, we learnt lots and cooked and ate some brilliant food! Thank you!

Jordanne Fletcher • Apr 2023

Cannot recommend this enough, the staff were amazing at being on hand to answer any questions and they created a relaxed but fun environment for us to cook in. Me and my partner learnt so much about the ingredients we were cooking with which was so interesting! I bought this for a birthday gift and my partner said it was the best gift he’s ever had! We’ll definitely be back to book another class!

Cheryl Haig • Apr 2023

An absolutely fantastic experience! I was very nervous going to the class on my own but I ended up laughing and having so much fun in the easy going atmosphere. The table I was placed with were fantastic and we ended up becoming friends in the short class. The teacher was incredibly accommodating, friendly and funny. He made it feel like we were all just friends hanging out learning a new skill. The class had such a variety from children to couples and we all felt completely at ease. The assistants were friendly and very helpful as well. I loved all the extra tips and tricks, the jokes and light hearted atmosphere. I went home and immediately started telling friends they need to this.

Rebecca Baldwin • Apr 2023

A fantastic Friday night. Fun and friendly instructors, I was proud of my sushi Thank you

Saffina Khan • Mar 2023

I booked it as a birthday gift.

Pros-
1) enjoyable experience
2) we learnt how to make a great custard filling for doughnuts!
3) The teacher was very friendly
4) The environment was a nice clean set up.
5) you get to take home the delicious doughnuts

Cons-
1)we never covered the jam filling and the chocolate filling was abit rushed.
2) The follow up pack with the recipes were not very detailed.
3) I think the main con was that we had 1 workspace and bowl of ingredients between 2 people . Im the kind of person that likes to go through all the steps by myself so that I remember each bit .
4) Another con is that it would have been good if we had more dough as I think we could have easily made more than just the 6 doughnuts (considering how much we paid).

Overall- if your looking for a fun day then its a great option but if you want to go home with detailed recipes and plenty of doughnuts then maybe not!

Thomas Knowles • Mar 2023

Very helpful teacher who made each step clear and informative and helped us make delicious food

Aurora Medonica • Mar 2023

My boyfriend and I attended the bread making masterclass with Enzo, and I could not recommend it enough! The school is very well organized with all the necessary equipments and ingredients. The atmosfere is very friendly, and the chef’s skills undeniable! I am an Italian not really into cooking but I was able to bake 5 different doughs with ease, under Enzo’s supervision! Great chef, great staff, and a great experience overall!

Neil Prior • Mar 2023

The instructor has excellent knowledge and his passion came through in spades. Covered a lot of detail but he made it easy to understand the different concepts and they impact of ingredient and style choices for pizza.

Rebecca Welch • Jan 2023

We really enjoyed our class and can’t wait to put our new skills to the test at home!

Denisa Delic • Jan 2023

I was very disappointed with this class. Firstly, I’m not sure what it was trying to be - is it a fun class or is it a serious learning class? You can’t bounce between the two during the class though and not everyone has the same level of knowledge, so you have to be clear what you are. Then there was poor structure - the woman who was running it (Diana) sped through the instructions, jumping between explaining other things that we weren’t there for. It left everyone confused and meant most people didn’t know what they were doing. Time management was also an issue - not only because we all needed clarifying with the instructions, but also simple things like ovens weren’t on when we needed to bake. So we had to rush, and at the end, we had to take our bakes away immediately (as we ran out of time to enjoy them there)…which didn’t bode well as they went from oven to Tupperware. So by the time you got home (even a short ride home), they were ruined. Then there were people around us who were doing other things in the background, running between us in our lesson, and preparing for the next one. All in all, I do not recommend this class at the Avenue Cookery School. I’ve been to far better ones in London.

Veronique Robin • Dec 2022

Herman Lopez • Dec 2022

I contacted then to reschedule my class due to Covid and I never received an answer. Appalling service.

Teacher's response

Hi Herman,
Thank you for the review although we do feel it's a bit unfair. Our T&Cs are very clear and as you actively chose not to opt-in for the possible insurance cover suggested, you require to give us the right amount of notice.
Cancelling on the day is simply something we can not work with. No only we have prepared the ingredients we have also reserved your space on a class which has been fully booked for weeks.

We hope to welcome you to our school in the future where you can see the true quality of our school.

She was very attentive, friendly and her english is easy to understand for non-english_speakers.
She also let us do free decorating and a lot of tips to improve our recipe, she offered us tea and coffe (also bread) while cooking, it was a very nice experience. And the fact that if we had questions even after taking the course she will answer them, it definitely give us a 5 star process.

Catherine Fryer • Dec 2022

Diana was absolutely super - she was so knowledgeable and she shared lots of tips with us all. She patiently and kindly let me remake my batch of macarons as I made a mistake with my first batch. I would highly recommend this fun class to everyone. I am very proud of what I've achieved !

Such a great experience, I went with my sister and a friend of ours for her birthday celebration and we had such a good time. I have been trying unsuccessfully to make poached eggs and came away from this class knowing how to make one now! The teacher, Richard gives really good instructions and checks up on you throughout the process to make sure you know and understand what you're doing. The bottomless bellinis were also a great bonus and its just such a fun way to spend your morning.

Valeria Luca • Nov 2022

The class was amazing! Everything was perfect, the kitchen. the teacher. me and my friends loved it.

Jon Harding • Nov 2022

Brilliant class, teacher and helpers.
I attended with my 13 yo daughter who loves baking.
We loved it and came away with a lot of Macarons to share.
Worth booking with someone as you’ll be paired up anyway.

Really great class. We had fun whilst learning good tricks on how to make macarons. The timing was perfect and we were guided step by step on how to make them. The venue is nice and the rest of the staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it!

The class was very easy to follow and great teacher. We made a lot of nice macaroons and it all came out great, making a difficult recipe seem very easy!

Dan was brilliant and made the class so much fun. We learned some good techniques for vegan cooking and had plenty to eat and drink! Issy and the rest of the staff were also great at supporting the workshop. Big thank you.

We had an unforgettable time at the sushi masterclass, made memories and learnt a skill for life. The teachers were friendly, knowledgeable and funny.

Great experience, highly recommended Vegan baking class. Great as a gift to give to someone who loves baking.

Viktor • Oct 2022

The food was excellent and it was very interesting the learn how to make pasta, tiramisu, and bruschetta. The team was also very friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to go slightly slower when explaining the demonstration as it felt very fast at times.

It was a great experience and thoroughly enjoyed it. I especially appreciated being taught how to make pasta the "quick" way which makes it more practical to take away and apply at home.

Absolutely amazing! Despite the fact we cook a lot at home we learnt so many new things (not only specifically about bao). The class was extremely well planned and super fun! Delicious food!

Alysia Burrows • Sep 2022

Fab experience all round, the class was great fun. Everything was provided for the course and the teachers regularly came round to assist with cooking. Would 100% recommend.

Adam Lees • Aug 2022

The workshop was brilliant, a lovely small class size (the kitchen could probably fit 12 people though there were 10 on the course) that made the course feel personal, but great large workstations with plenty of room - the perfect blend. The workstations were clean and well stocked.
The teacher was brilliant - charismatic, engaging and very knowledgeable about ice cream and gave us all great insights to the technical/scientific reasons why/how each method of making ice cream worked. Personally I liked the extra geekiness, but my wife found it a little much, so definitely need to find the right balance (which the teacher himself said on the day) which I think he did quite well.
The ice creams and other deserts we tasted (there was a lot) were all delicious (even the flavours I don't normally like!). Would definitely recommend for any ice cream lover!

I had a fantastic time at the Pasta/Italian cooking school and learned loads! The school itself is superbly equipped and the dishes and ingredients had clearly been picked for things you can recreate at home.

Richard the teacher was extremely knowledgeable and there’s clearly a lot to cover in a short space of time so he speaks very quickly making it difficult to keep up if you’re a beginner but other staff were available to ask when it came to our turn to cook.

I definitely think this course was good value for money, the drinks were bottomless and tasty and I have picked up plenty of new techniques.

Thank you very much for a fab evening, I hope to do another one soon!

Charles Goulden • Aug 2022

When I walked in I was very impressed by the superb facilities and layout in the venue. The work stations were so well set up with the hobs, oven, sink and all the equipment needed for preparing and cooking. It was first class. I liked the teacher's style as he was very informative but also entertaining and I learned a lot with some neat techniques as well. Then the ingredients were all to hand and we had fun preparing the dishes in good company with my fellow guests and the copious supply of wine! Our group were very happy with their results and then we sat down and enjoyed a delicious meal. A word of thanks to Santa's helpers who did a wonderful and discrete job of removing the used things and bringing in fresh supplies. Excellent teamwork. Conclusion - a very enjoyable and enlightening experience and I would highly recommend the Avenue Cookery School. Thank you very much

This class was so much fun! You learn a lot of different ways to cut various veg in a fast and efficient manner. You learn all about knives and how to hold them (they come round and correct you if you’re holding it wrong). At the end of the class you eat a lovely meal with all the veg you’ve cut too!

Simon Robinson • Aug 2022

A wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Diana is a vibrant and fun teacher offering many practical tips along the way in putting together a tasty meal on the table.
Diana’s helpers darted around and just seemed to be by my side the moment a question popped into my mind or I needed a one to one demonstration.
The group size was just right with everybody having fun.
The free flowing wine was also very welcome.
I have never been a great cook - my wife is amazing so nothing I cook can compare! - but this course has motivated me to start with what I have learnt and progress from there.
I can’t wait to go back!

Nicole Tipping • Jul 2022

The class and teacher made it really simple and easy to make. We got stuck straight into making them which was good. Would definitely recommend.
Doughnuts are a good size and tasted great but would have been nice for a couple more in the batch to be a bit greedy!

Elisabeth Groth • Jul 2022

A really good class. Teacher was great and gave us all the “fail tips” NOT to do.

James Carey • Jul 2022

My wife and I attended the Beef Wellington class and it was great from start to finish. The teacher was very friendly, enthusiastic, explained all the details and answered any questions really well. All of the ingredients were top quality, and the venue itself is great. Our food turned out fantastic and we left with full bellies and a big smile on our face. Would heartily recommend!

Ben Thompson • Jul 2022

I had an excellent time at the Indian Cooling Class! I learnt so much and the teachers were fantastic. Highly recommend.

not super formal, which makes the place that much more fun.
I will recommend the place to anyone who likes to eat, cook or to have a laugh.

I'm not a complete beginner but I've found value to attend the Peruvian cooking class. The whole experience was enjoyable and left me with many cooking inspirations. The chef was really funny but also gives you lot of notions, his staff is very helpful and kind. I will join another class!

Great fun at the avenue cookery school! We received this as a gift and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We thought we might not be full since the menu didn’t seem like a lot of food at first, however, make sure you don’t eat for a while before…. You’ll be leaving VERY satisfied! Each step was guided by our chef first and the staff were very attentive with helping us. Loved the unlimited wine too- bonus!

Good teacher who was easy to follow and made the class fun. Great value for money. Venue was ideal, good size and facilities and in a nice location. I felt the materials and ingredients were good quality and the cocktails ideal. We were actually surprised that we had wine to drink throughout which was an added bonus for us and defiantly made the experience fun and great value for money.

A really fun and informative class where you get to sit down, drink wine and eat the dinner you’ve created.
Friendly teacher and assistants who keep an eye on what’s cooking, a lovely ‘cooking class’ space, and even though I’m hopeless at cooking I didn’t feel out of my depth and made something that actually tasted great.
A unique Friday night.

Kate Mitchell • Mar 2022

Really fun class and something different for a Friday night! The food and wine was great and we learnt some new skills along the way!

Anna Amat • Mar 2022

The whole team was really nice and we had a great morning learning so much about bread! The school is a great location, 100% recommend this course. I bought it as a present for my boyfriend and we both had a great time.
Even if you buy it just for yourself you do the class together with another person, which wasn't a problem for us, but I think it's important to know that.
But overall 10/10.

Taz Kara • Mar 2022

Great class overall, however still have not received the recipe to re-create at home! It would have been good to have been given this at the class itself to use, and then take away with us.

It would have been also good to go through different shapes of pasta that could be made with the pasta dough, and also the different vegan fillings that would be possible.

Annalisa Cividati • Feb 2022

This class was amazing, I enjoyed every moment of it.
Richard, the teacher, is ace. A bundle of joy, super knowledgeable, patient, and fun. The rest of the team is also super-competent, helpful, and nice. Not to forget the banging tunes that we were listening to while learning how to make sushi and cocktails.
The venue is really cool, I felt like I was in a proper kitchen setting with family and cozy vibes, at the same time.
Everything was provided, from ingredients, alcool, and utensils. It was really professional.
I can definitely say I have learned how to make sushi and cocktails and I would recommend this class to anybody who wants to learn how to cook, have fun and spend an ace night.

Hayden • Feb 2022

Our teacher was great, he helped us all feel very comfortable and relaxed whilst also keeping us attentive to what he was teaching us.

Hayden Cremer • Feb 2022

It was really fun and easy to follow. The recipes turned out great and we feel confident to make our own bread now. They also catered for us because we were vegan and there was no problem.

More than met expectations. Fun, passionate instructor who taught the basics and some useful tips.

Clare Corcoran • Feb 2022

Dynamic and very personable teacher (Helen). Tuition was at the right place and Helen gave me extra clarification if needed. The school was a gem. I loved the way it was kitted out and all the clever design hacks (oven doors, integrated sockets). I also liked some of the posters around the school, giving the venue personality.

Elenia Cardilli • Feb 2022

Really good experience, teacher professional, all material is provided and fun guaranteed!
Ideal for couples.

Chris Catchpole • Jan 2022

I bought this session for my husband as he loves a beef wellington! I thought it would be good for him to learn how to make it. I didn’t realise that you were meant to pair up with someone and there were mainly couples on the workshop. My husband had to pair up with the only other lone attendee; incidentally this person was not happy about pairing up with someone either! Not ideal and I’m disappointed this wasn’t made clear. The teaching was good, however, a lot of the elements had already been prepared so it was just a case of assembling the dish and putting in the oven.

Georgia Meade • Jan 2022

Friendly and knowledgeable teacher and support staff! All ingredients and equipment to hand. Covid secure. Great fun

This was so much fun and the cocktail making was a bonus!
All the staff are so professional and obviously passionate about what they do but also so personable! Cannot fault any part of the evening

I bought this class as a gift for my husband birthday, as he wanted to learn a new skill.
He had the class a day after his birthday party, and he loved it. The sauces he brought at home are delicious, which means he had a fantastic teacher :).

I had an amazing time the team and instructors where so lovely I came by myself and I felt completely comfortable, the baking wasn’t to difficult and the instructor was very informative. Overall the experience was splendid

Yasmeen Lubbock • Sep 2021

Really great class. Have done a couple of others with different companies but this one, by far the best. Demonstrations great and then a lot of other people on hand and not just the head chef to help further with technique and teaching.

Ingriedents and wine all top quality.

I will 100% book another class for personal skills but it was also really fun so will use for cooperate hire for team building also.

Abhiramy Rudran • Sep 2021

Great teacher. I’m not a good cook and I really enjoyed this. Great present for someone too. Lots of hands on help. Bottomless wine. Great music and lovely way to spend an evening! Thank you
