The Retreat Cooking School

Our fun classes are great team building activities, suitable for all skill levels to encourage people back into the kitchen ….not for a long time but a good time, all the while highlighting our wonderful local produce whilst creating delicious food from around the world and sharing our tips and tricks for making wonderful fresh tasty food.

All our classes are three hours long, are hands on as we work together with students as they cook each recipe. At the end of the class, students take off their aprons, grab a glass and sit down with their classmates to enjoy the meal they have just created either in our dramatic dining tower, our glamorous sparking gallery or under the vines in the courtyard.

We can design a class to suit your group's needs ranging from Italian, Moroccan & Middle Eastern, Thai Spice Trail or our Gourmet Kitchen Garden, where your team can make personal gifts to spice up their next feast -  from pickles & preserves through to homegrown treats like chutney and caramel sauce.
