Learn to cook, experience chef-life in a professional kitchen, and enjoy the most incredible city views from the 58th floor of an iconic London skyscraper. Introducing our cooking masterclasses at the Gordon Ramsay Academy, Powered by HexClad.
There’s a reason the beef Wellington is held in such high regard – it’s decadent, it’s difficult to get just right, and it’s downright delicious. However, our chefs can help you get over your Welly fears and learn how to impress friends and family with perfect homemade Wellingtons every time.
You’ll join our chefs in our London Academy – a professional restaurant kitchen on the 58th floor of the stunning 22 Bishopsgate building in the City of London. Not only is this kitchen the perfect spot to learn how to make a Welly just like Gordon, but it’s also an incredible place to experience cooking with the most awe inspiring views over London, and beyond.
During your 3-hour class you will learn how to cook the central beef fillet, make the layers of pancake and mushroom duxelles, and how to wrap and decorate like a pro. You’ll leave with your own uncooked Wellington that you can take home to bake and enjoy – sharing is optional!
Class timings: 3-hour cooking experience
Please see individual booking for start and finish times (for example, 2pm-4pm or 6pm-8pm on selected days, subject to availability)
Class size: Maximum 6-8 guests
You will be doing some cooking in pairs so bring a friend or team up with a classmate – it’s a great way to meet new people who love food as much as you do!
Typical recipes and skills (we’ll cook the best available on the day, so we might surprise you!):
