Questions from Whetstone
Do you charge extra to travel to Whetstone?
No. Whetstone is inside my standard coverage area, so the per person price is the price you pay.
How many people can join?
Classes run from three people upwards but solo lessons also available charged at £150. For larger groups we can setup to work in stages so everyone still gets hands on.
What do you need from my kitchen?
A working hob and oven, a sink and a stretch of worktop. Knives, pans, boards and the ingredients all come with me, and I clear it down before I leave.
How do payment and cancellation work?
Classes are paid in full when you book, with no deposit. A booked lesson can be moved to another date free of charge with at least 7 days notice. Within 7 days of the lesson it is treated as taken, as ingredients are already bought for you.
Do you offer cooking class gift vouchers?
Yes. A one lesson voucher is £150 and a three lesson voucher is £450, each lesson for one to three guests. Vouchers are paid up front, valid for six months, and a printable voucher is sent once payment is received.
