Should I eat before an evening class?

 
We advise you to have a light meal before you come to our evening classes. There will be tasters during the evening. NB: If you are attending either our Tapas & Spanish Wine, Tour de France or Canapés & Bubbles course, then you don't need to eat beforehand.

Will I have my own workstation or be sharing?

There are 3 main working areas in the cookery school, each with room for 4 people. So, although you will be working individually, it is very sociable.

What happens to the food I cook?

 
It's all yours! Several of the classes are designed so that guests eat some of the delicious dishes they create for lunch. Everything else is yours to take away and impress friends and family.

Will there be cookery demonstrations during the practical classes?

Yes we intersperse cookery demonstrations with hands on cooking so that you can see and taste as many delicious dishes as possible, to pick up all the skills, hints and tips you need to recreate the recipes at home.

I have an allergy, intolerance or other dietary requirement. Will you be able to accommodate it?

 
For almost all classes we will be able to adjust dishes to accommodate a dietary requirement. Please let our reservations team know before you book or provide full details on your web booking so that we can make the necessary arrangements for you.

Will I need to stand for long periods of time?

 
Our aim is to make you as comfortable as possible during our hands on classes and if at any point you need a seat we will be more than happy to bring one to you. During our demonstations you will be sat on stools around the Tutor's bench.

Do I need to bring containers to take my food home in?

What is the cancellation policy?

 
Cancellations:
At Newlyns Cookery School we have achieved, what we believe, to be a good balance between our competitive prices and the requirements of our customers. As a result of this we have developed a 21-day cancellation policy. This policy applies to all cookery classes.
 
Cancellations more than 21 days from the date of the course:
Outside of the 21 days from the date of the course we can be flexible. If we have notice, then we can rebook you onto another course. 
 

Cancellations made less than 21 days from the date of the course:
Inside the 21 days from the date of the course, we will re-list your course place for sale. If we are able to resell your place, we will refund you the cost of your course less £10.00 administration fee. However, if you can provide a replacement participant, you are welcome to do so at no extra cost. Inside 21 days we are not able to move you onto another course. Unfortunately, we are also unable to offer any refunds inside 21 days of the date of the course for cancellations due to illness or compassionate grounds. 

 

Cancellations by Newlyns Cookery School:
In the event of cancellation by ourselves, we undertake to provide a suitable alternative within a reasonable period of time. If this is not possible we endeavour to make an immediate full refund of the cost of the event.

Do I have to be an experienced home cook to come on a class?

We welcome all levels and abilities on all of our classes. For those who have never tried the technique or skill being covered we will give you all the help and support you need to get great results first time. And for those more confident in the kitchen we will help you to refine and improve your techniques to enjoy your cooking even more. If you are completely new to the kitchen then we recommend booking on our Beginners course.
