I have been to various classes run at Flavours and they have all been excellent but this was absolutely brilliant. From the minute you arrive and are offered refreshments the... read more atmosphere is very friendly. The organisation of the class is wonderful. The ingredients and equipment are there in front of you. Des is a great teacher who explains everything really simply and demonstrates the cooking techniques required. There is even someone to do the washing up so you spend the entire time actually cooking. Lunch is provided. A brilliant way to spend a day. This class had the added bonus that we made so much that we had enough to give as Christmas presents!

We regularly book and wouldn’t think twice about recommending this fab hidden gem. Can’t wait till we go back in the summer.

  As someone who loves to eat, but can't cook. I was slightly daunted at the thought of a cookery class, but how wrong I was. Amy greets you and puts... read more you straight at ease. Chef Des introduces himself and immediately you'd like him to be a friend you see every weekend. No matter whether you'd like Chef to cook for you? Or you would like to cook for Chef?

  The intermediate cookery course with Chef Liz is everything I hoped it would be. A relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere with fun people, great dishes and in Liz, an incredibly... read more knowledgeable and excellent instructor.

The best thing is taking home boxes of delicious food every week!

  Last night a group of us had the pleasure of experiencing ‘The Chefs Table’. An 8 course meal that blew us away. Each course was absolutely stunning, I think my... read more taste buds were in shock! Just the most beautifully presented and Michelin standard food!! At flavours you also get more than just 5* food- it’s an experience.
