Daytime Classics Courses

10AM – 2PM | £165 PER PERSON

Do you love our restaurant? Then come and join this exciting course where you will learn how to recreate our most popular starter, main course and dessert of the season, at home, in your own kitchen. During this course our team will teach you to confidently re-create these restaurant dishes at home. We’ll share some of our kitchen secrets including ‘partition preparation’ where most of the cooking is done before your guests arrive, leaving you to spend more time at the table and less time in the kitchen. Before you head home, you will get to enjoy your starter with your fellow cooks around The Chef’s Table for lunch. The main-course and dessert you have made will be packed up for you to serve at home to impress your family and friends!
