cooking

Learning to cook is something which is both fun and delicious but also a real life-skill. Studies show that many of us are cooking less at home than ever, so we’re hoping to inspire the next generation into the kitchen!

Karen and her team have a range of delicious cooking projects to choose from;

Afternoon tea

Create a sumptuous afternoon tea. Use measuring, mixing and baking skills to make your

own scones to serve with jam and cream, some dainty finger sandwiches and delicious fruit skewers.

Pizza making

Learn how to make a delicious pizza. Knead and shape your dough then add your own

choice of toppings. You'll also get to rustle up a quick salad and fruity cooler.

Smoothies & cookies

Make our yummy chocolate chip cookies and whilst they're baking, you can create

your own fruity smoothie before enjoying them all with your friends.

Sushi & noodles

Learn how to make a delicious plate of sushi from a selection of healthy ingredients and use a sushi mat to roll your creations. We’ll also rustle up some tasty stir fry noodles before showing off your best chopstick skills.

dietary requirements

We are happy to accommodate any gluten free guests but unfortunately we can't guarantee our kitchen is coeliac approved. We can also accommodate dairy free and vegetarian/vegan with no problem.

We aim for our kitchen studio to be a nut-free space.

If you have a child attending who has allergies, please talk to us about how we can help.

We can only accommodate a maximum of 12 children in a cooking party due to our kitchen equipment.

All attending children must be 8+

We have a water jug, cups and cutlery available for use but we don’t keep sharp knives for safety reasons. We suggest you bring one with you along with matches if you have candles to light.

Balloons and decorations

We have colourful and cute party decs up when we’re hosting a party. Please do bring
