Our fully interactive cooking sessions are offered in Chef’s custom built cooking workshop (our ‘Atelier’).
Upon entering you will be requested to wash your hands thoroughly at our double basin in our ‘Larder’ and then please frequently do so throughout the class along with the use of hand sanitiser provided.
Our classes will begin with an introduction and overview of the recipes and cuisine for the day, followed by hands-on preparation before you then head upstairs (via stairs or lift)  to our dining room to enjoy a feast with your peers.

We can accommodate up to 22 guests around our marble workstations.
You will prepare an array of recipes and at times this can be solo or in pairs, should you come along solo you may be invited to ‘make a new friend’ and partner up to share your skills and increase your knowledge together.
It is common for each class to have up to 12 recipes being prepared (for fully booked classes), these recipes will be shared across our attendees and whilst you won’t prepare all the dishes personally you will receive all of them to take home in a printed booklet. Frederick will frequently bring the class together around his ‘Chef’s Table’ to learn tips for the array of recipes on the day to increase your knowledge and confidence in your own kitchen.
Our ‘shoppe’ will then be open for 1 hour when our classes are completed for you to peruse should you wish to do so or purchase pre-ordered items.

You are welcome to arrive up to 15 mins prior to the designated start time of your booked class, we will be beginning our class induction promptly at the stated set class time on the day.
