• 5/5 from Melissa Neish, attended May 2026: The class was great. We really enjoyed the experience, the food and the chef was very informative. The only feedback I would give is around people with additional needs. When we booked we did g know there were so many stairs or that the food would be jointly prepared / shared. As we have health issues in our family, the stairs were a challenge and the mixed food prep, created some anxiety for us. I would suggest more hand washing prompts or use of gloves to address this.
