  • What level of cooking experience do I need?
  • The beauty of how we design all of our courses is that anyone of any level can join us. While someone new to the kitchen will find support as they manoeuvre through new techniques, the more seasoned cooks in our group will thrive on all the pointers we offer for further improvement. Our course material is layered and we know how to quickly adapt to a moving room. Constant, open-ended learning is one of the things we love the most about being in the kitchen and our tutors' enthusiastic teaching style and patience is a testament to that.

Where we can accommodate a dietary requirement the curriculum for other students will remain the same as the original.
