We will try to accommodate for special dietary requirements whenever possible, however we require as much notice as possible in order to do so. Please send us an email or contact the school to let us know in advance of what your dietary requirements are and which class you'd like to take part in. Please be aware that some classes are easier to alter than others.

Demonstration Our demonstration classes are where you sit down, watch and learn from our teacher cooking an array of dishes from the central island so you can see step by step the menu being created, included are generous tastings of all the dishes along with refreshments and a recipe folder from the dishes prepared on the day.

Hands-on classes - these consist of up to 14 students cooking alongside the teacher and then enjoying the range of dishes you have cooked together as a class for a meal with a glass of wine or soft drinks, along with a recipe folder from the dishes prepared on the day.

Our Hands On classes are for adults. We require students to be a minimum age of 18 years old in order to attend on their own. 14 year olds are permitted to attend only when accompanied by an adult who is also taking the class.

Please email the Cookery School office on school@divertimenti.co.uk and we will try to assist where availability and circumstances allow, however this cannot be guaranteed.

All classes are suitable for all levels. The Chefs will ensure that you have the assistance required to enjoy the day and learn a new skill. Please contact the school if you would like further guidance or information email us here.

When you attend one of our hands-on classes they will conclude with a family-style meal, where students will sit down together and share what they have made with a glass of wine or soft drink.

With our demonstration classes you will be offered ample tasting of the dishes the chef is preparing that day along with refreshments.

Some of the classes we offer, such as baking, give you the opportunity to take home your creations from the session.

There will be two students per workstation but there is ample room. Attendees often work in pairs or groups of four, dependent on the class and the Chef's teaching style.

We suggest you wear comfortable clothes and suitable footwear for a busy kitchen that you can cook in, we supply you an apron for hands on classes. We have a cloakroom for personal items whilst the classes take place.

Please ensure you arrive 20 minutes prior to your class start time – you can have a hot drink on arrival and read through the recipes for your class.

All the ingredients are provided for your class they will be ready for you to cook with upon arrival.

You will enjoy most of the food that you create in class afterwards but with baking classes we offer you to take home any baked goods for you to enjoy at home.
