  • 5/5 from Ana Elba Gutierrez Montenegro, attended Mar 2026: I really enjoyed this experience. I loved that we learnt about the origins of the recipe and some cooking tips. The chef and staff were really clear, helpful, and patient. It really met my expectations and I can't wait to try the recipe again with friends and family. I would definitely try more classes with you.
  • 5/5 from Emma Bennett, attended Mar 2026: Well organised, really interesting, fun and best of all - delicious!!
  • 5/5 from Hannah Dennie, attended Mar 2026: Cecy was very knowledgeable about the ingredients and gave lots of clear instructions. We enjoyed the atmosphere and learning new skills.
  • 5/5 from Tom Stimson, attended Nov 2025: Richard was a fantastic teacher, really made it simple and straightforward whilst also giving some fantastic insights into theory / techniques to use. The end result was also one of the most delicious curries I’ve made myself. I’d highly recommend the course for anyone wanting to nail how to do a great curry.
  • 5/5 from Juliett López, attended Jun 2025: Teacher and team were great. Lovely atmosphere and food was delicious
  • 5/5 from Edward Broadhurst, attended Mar 2025: This was a great cookery session! The instructor was fun, engaging, extremely knowledgable and was great at explaining what we were doing and why. The result was a lovely Jalfrezi - nicest I've ever tasted, even if I do say so myself :)
  • 5/5 from Steven Murphy, attended Feb 2025: Excellent cooking class hosted by Gloria.
  • 3/5 from Keith Rothery, attended Feb 2025: The class was fun but would have liked more talk about the spices and volume of each spice. I know how to cut up and onion and ginger what I really wanted to learn was what spices to use and when. The chef / trainer was good but we missed out on prepping the chickedn and how it was marinated. The guy called Alex who helped on the table I cooked at was excellent, very helpful and always checking if you are doing ok, top man.
  • 5/5 from Josh Richardson, attended Jun 2024: Excellent!! Food was delicious and the teacher was clear and knowledgeable! I would highly recommend!
