Our Children's lessons have been designed to give children a sense of responsibility in the kitchen, to allow them to understand the fundamentals of cookery whilst enjoying creating dishes from scratch.
All lessons are taught in our purpose built kitchen, in a safe and controlled environment. No more than four children are permitted in each class and handling of all hot items are carried out by the teacher. When you drop your children off you are more than welcome to see where they will be working, giving you full peace of mind.
