Our day classes start at 10am and finish at around 4.00pm. Half day classes start at 10am and finish at around 1.30pm. Evening classes start at 6.00pm and finish at around 8.30pm. Please let us know at the beginning of the class if you need to leave promptly (i.e. to catch a train). We ask that students arrive 10 minutes before the start time.

As well as tasting throughout the course, all of our classes finish with a sit down meal of the food prepared. On full day classes, there is an early and a late lunch!

There is often some food to take home, so please bring a takeaway container with you. On every course you will receive a recipe pack of all the dishes covered.

Everything is provided for you. We ask that you bring a container with you for any leftovers. You will be on your feet for a large part of the day and may appreciate comfortable shoes! For those with long hair, please bring something to tie it back.

We take a maximum of 10 people on a course. The day is intended as a relaxed learning experience and we cook and eat together. The courses attract people of all ages and from all walks of life, a mixture of men and women, vegans, vegetarians and non veggies, confident cooks and those less experienced and those just stuck in a rut. Many come on their own, some in pairs or small groups of family and friends. Every day is different.

Most day and evening classes are suitable for students over the age of 13, when accompanied by a paying adult aged 18 and above. Students must be at least 16 to attend a class unaccompanied.

The courses are lead by our fabulous team of tutors

The cookery school is situated on the first and second floors of a Grade II listed Georgian terrace in a World Heritage site. We have street access to the building with one small step from the vestibule to the entry hall. The teaching kitchen is up two flights of stairs, then a further two flights to the toilets and dining room. Stools are provided in the kitchen. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Bath has an abundance of accommodation and there is everything from high-end hotels to budget hostels, all within walking distance of the cookery school.
