    A Feast Of Fun !
    Well, as a bit of an old codger with minimal kitchen skills (and that's putting it mildly) I must confess to feeling a little apprehensive about attending this class. I had nightmarish visions of being publicly scolded by some Gordon Ramsay type character for my astonishing uselessness... But hey, this session was FANTASTIC ! Led by Susie, who made the lesson zip along, she made it all seem so achievable, and a lot of fun too. Susie had that gift, which you find in great teachers, of making things sound easy and accessible. Instructions were really clear and simple to follow. We also met some very nice co-students who all had very positive experiences too. You know, although I've left it late, I might just get into this cooking thing !

    Overrated
    We made the time spent a great time, chefs were really informative and friendly but we were very disappointed that we only had one of everything between 2 people to cook, we both paid £60 each and expected for each of us to have a cooking station not between 2! there should be a reduced charge for the second person joining as that person doesn't get much learning abilities to cook, you can't take it in turns when cooking as the other person misses out on taking part of that stage of cooking. The chefs also had all the intrigants ready in the pot, so wasn't much learning when all the prep has been done for you. I think this should be re looked at, as i will not be recommending friends and family based on this. Extremally disappointed and gutted as was looking forward to the experience. Also there was a loan person and they had the exact same portions as what coupes had, so I was hungry!

    Good well structured cookery class
    Great hints and tips from Chef Chris. Well run course and gives a good introduction to Thai cooking and understanding of balancing taste. Made Tom Yum Soup, Papaya salad, Beef stir-fry and green curry paste. The course was broken up into a number of well spaced sessions where we cooked and ate as each course was cooked. I found it a little pricey but that was subsidised by a Christmas Gift voucher I used and the price did include all the ingredients and wine with the meal at the end. Only improvement I would suggest is that it would be nice to send home attentees with a momento from the course for example of one of Jamie's cookbooks, knife, apron or pestle and mortar. Would I attend another cookery class? Yes.

    Pasta master
    Really easy class. Great for friends, family and couples or on your own. The chef was welcoming and approachable and went through each step throughly. Will be coming back for another class. The venue is in a very unsuspecting place so keep an eye out.

    A wonderful time!
    My partner and I attended the Pasta Master Class at The Jamie Oliver Cookery School and it was a really fun evening! The instructor was so friendly and patient and we learned how to make some amazing pasta. I got this experience as a gift and it was such a great present - I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out.

    Vietnamese Street Food Cooking Class
    I was fortunate enough to take the Vietnamese street food cooking class at the end of March, and it was wonderful! Chef Jack was great to work with, and made the class educational, fun and enjoyable! Food was delicious and overall it was a great experience. The next time I'm back in London I will definitely sign up for another visit! And in the interim, I'll be checking out their online cooking classes as well. 😁

    Great bread course!
    Loved the bread making course. I have never been confident with bread making and this course really gave me a confidence boost. I learned some new techniques and the instructor was clearly passionate about bread. It was also a lot of fun! Would definitely recommend for someone going alone, in a small group or as a couple. I can't wait to go back for another course!

    Fun and delicious cooking experience
    What a fantastic evening hosted by Jack and shared with new friends from as far as Portugal. Being a novice in the kitchen myself, Jack made the learning experience simple and enjoyable and finished with a lovely meal around the chefs table. This was my 2nd visit to Jamie's cookery school and I have two more in July to look forward to.
    Hi there, That's great to hear and we hope you are continuing to enjoy your experiences. Kind regards The Jamie Oliver Cookery Team

    Had a fantastic class 'Get Stuck Into Steak'. Jacob was a fantastic chef & teacher. He made the whole class feel at ease & gave great tips. It was just the right amount of balance of learning theory & practical!

    Highly recommended! Lovely food and venue.
    I did the Jamie Cooks Italy full-day class which I loved. Kris our chef was excellent with great energy and good tips, everyone was so friendly, and the food was delicious. Kris did a few demos, and we all made a few things by ourselves so we didn’t have to pair up with anyone which I preferred. I came home with a fabulous doggie bag! They sell the cookbooks for £10 which is great value too! There was white and red wine, and elderflower preseé available for non-drinkers like me so we were well catered for. Highly recommend! I definitely want to do more classes now.
    Hi there, Thank you for your lovely review. It's great to hear how much you enjoyed it and we hope we'll see you cooking with us again soon. The Jamie Oliver Cookery Team

Great instructor, covering all aspects of the fish filleting and cooking. All the ingredients and equipment included with the course (along with a complimentary drink and access to the paid bar). Good demonstration and explanation throughout with recipes and notes sent out on e-mail afterwards. Will be booking more of these for myself and friends.

One of the best experiences we have had while living in London!
Everything was great, from the actual kitchen we used to the fantastic food we got to make for ourselves (we all also got to taste the Master Chef's version during the demo and it was insane!)

The Master Cheft was incredibly friendly, helpful, patient, funny, and detailed all the steps, along with anecdotes and fun facts.

I will be back as I loved it so much I am now organising a big group of friends to celebrate a birthday!

Disappointed and frustrated!
Myself and a friend attended “A taste of Japan’ on the 21st of September.2023.
I have done many celebrity chef classes before. This was not up to standard. Only 4 in the class, the teacher showed no interest in our reason for attending or our abilities also not having any class introductions.
The class should has lasted 1 1/2 hours, teacher left after an hour. He took no interest in our cooking, put all 4 of us on 1 ceramic hob, when there were at least 4 or 5 spare. The pans overlapped while cooking so the hob kept cutting out. I expected we would cook the whole dish individually but I was partnered with my friend. Backed in the corner, I stirred the chicken under her armpit! The teacher didn’t look around once or ask how we were doing.
We served up our meagre food, consisting on boiled rice, using what the teacher had cooked, teriyaki chicken thighs - 1 each and frozen edamame in a simple glaze. On plating up, the teacher left!
I wanted to purchase some Cookery books but was told by the next teacher, setting up the next class that I couldn’t use the surplus money on my voucher ( a thoughtful Christmas present from my son) I would have do do that over the phone. Since, they have said all books need to be collected.
I later spoke to someone who promised 2 complementary places in the new year. I have rung continually and no one picks up,,,,, what is going on?
If you are still reading this, I would say thick again from my experience!

great morning of baking a few types of bread, in a very friendly atmosphere and chef jack was brilliant. I would recommend it to everyone - no experience or special skills needed - just a lovely morning's activity with all that you need provided - 10 out of 10

Very nice experience, lovely place and easy to find. We went for the Vietnamese street food cooking class and made the right decision. The information provided was easy to understand and to follow and the chef was approachable and helpful. He also gave us some tips to master our cooking and recipes that we did are very easy to make at home also.

Was so excited but it was cancelled 4 days before due to staff illness. Wasn’t in london long, appreciated the 4 day warning but couldn’t understand why they couldn’t bring in someone to replace. We also still got an email the day before warning us when to turn up. It should have been easy meals. I’d been before and knew they normally had two lessons going at a time in the Main reception area and a proper kitchen downstairs. I lot of people do this because it’s gifted through virgin day or red but don’t bother. There are more consistent and cheaper things.

Hi there, We'd like to apologise once again for the inconvenience caused to you. On very rare occasions, unforeseen circumstances mean that we can't staff a class and there is no-one available to step in for them. We do hope this hasn't tarnished your memories of our classes and would love to see you again some time. If you wish to discuss the matter further with our Customer Services team please reach out via contact@jamiescookeryschool.com I hope we hear from you soon. Kind regards The Jamie Oliver Cookery Team

Myself and my partner Candice did our sixth cooking course at Jamie's HQ in London. Fabulous venue, really excellent chefs and in particular they are very good at imparting their knowledge and expertise.

We retired straight into lockdown and found Jamie's on-line courses (completed all 35 of them!) tremendous fun. For a small outlay you get taught how to cook fabulous food.

All in all you get excellent value for money entertainment and learn a skill. on-line courses consist of selecting and buying the food, prepping, cooking with the chefs then enjoying a 5 star meal. The in-person courses in London are magnificent, changed our lives, give it a try.
