Really loved the whole experience - made for great social interaction and everyone helping creating such delicious food! Ann was delightful and very informative. Would love to do more classes with Ann - and we will be making all of the Thai food again!

I recently attended a cookery class that completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, relaxed, and full of delicious anticipation. The instructor struck the perfect balance between knowledgeable and approachable—breaking down techniques with clarity, patience, and just the right dash of humour. Whether you were a total beginner or a confident home cook, there was something for everyone. We covered everything from knife skills and seasoning tips to mastering sauces and plating like a pro. The hands-on experience was brilliant, and the ingredients provided were fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully chosen. I left not only with new skills and recipes, but with a renewed love for cooking. If you're looking to boost your kitchen confidence, meet like-minded foodies, or just have a fun, flavour-packed evening—this class is a must.

Amazing two hours as always! Lots of fun, great tips and knowledge from Ann, & topped off with delicious group cooked food! Thanks 🙏

Absolutely awful experience and a complete scam. The kitchen floors and room were filthy. The chef was unfriendly and complained from the start about how tired they were and that they had worked all day without a break and just wanted to get home which made everything very uncomfortable and took all the enjoyment out of the experience. To top it off all the bread (excluding the chocolate brioche) tasted vile and was pretty inedible, it is a joke they can take money for this service. Deserves a zero star hygiene rating for many reasons including the chef when making the yeast/water mixture asked everyone in the class to dip their finger in the mix to “understand the temperature”. Wasn’t offered so much as a glass of water during the experience. Even with this awful experience Ann refused any kind of refund and didn’t acknowledge or apologise. AVOID
