Let us take the stress out of cooking Christmas dinner as you join us for a relaxing demonstration experience of all things turkey, roast potatoes and more. Sit back with a glass of wine and let our chefs answer all your burning questions about not burning the most important meal of the year!
Our Christmas cooking classes are not only the perfect opportunity to have some festive fun in the kitchen with friends and loved ones, but will also set you up with essential recipes and new ideas to make this Christmas the most delicious one yet.
As a demonstration only, there’s no pressure – you get to relax with a glass of wine and a few tasters, while our chefs do the hard work, showing you classic recipes, new techniques and helpful hints on getting the juiciest turkey, the crispiest roast potatoes and tastiest veg so you’re all set and full of confidence for the big day.
You’ll finish with recipes and information to take home, and plenty of festive spirit, too.
Class time: Sunday afternoons - the perfect time to think about all things roast dinner! Arrive up to 30 minutes before the class start time to check in at reception
Class size: Up to 25 guests

Of course! If booking for six or more (or more than 10 devices for an online class), please get in touch with our Private Dining and Events team who can help create an amazing experience just for you.
If you love food and are over 16 years old (18 years old for wine tastings or cocktail making), then come along. You can book as an individual, couple or as a small group.
If you have any accessibility needs or if there's anything we can do to help make your experience more comfortable, please let us know in the booking form or give us a call to chat through.
Don't panic! The demonstration will include some tasters to try but you can always opt out of these. We'll always try to accommodate any specific requirements if we can and you can let us know about these in the booking form.
Otherwise do contact us to discuss a particular class or booking. You could also consider booking a private class through our Private Dining and Events team that's tailored to your needs.
We unfortunately cannot guarantee an allergen or nut-free environment in any of our kitchens.
