Gordon tries to visit the Academy when he can and does occasionally join us in the kitchen. Our events and dining experiences are hosted by fantastically talented chefs from the Academy and Gordon's restaurants, as well by guest chefs and experts from around the world.

Gordon and Tilly try to visit the Academy when they can and love following what you're all cooking on social media. Our classes and events are hosted by brilliant chef teachers who will be passing on tips and tricks from Gordon and Tilly, as well as tons of knowledge from their own experience in restaurants and kitchens around the world.

Although Gordon does pop up on camera occasionally, our online classes are filmed at the Academy with our brilliant chef teachers. They all have loads of experience cooking around the world and will be passing on tons of tips and tricks from Gordon in every class.

Of course! If booking for four or more at our London Academy, six or more for our Woking Academy, or more than 10 devices for an online class, please get in touch with us and we can help create an amazing experience just for you.

We keep our children's cookery classes to a maximum of 10-12 per class to ensure they get the best possible experience. There are two age brackets (6-10 years old and 11-15 years old) and these are for children of all cooking abilities, all they need is an interest in food and a can-do attitude.

You can book for up to six children in one booking so there's usually room for brothers, sisters, schoolmates, cousins or neighbours…

If they really do want to bring the whole gang, get in touch with us and can help you book a bespoke kids class or cooking party.

So things aren't too crowded and everyone gets a chance to get involved, we try to keep family classes to five-six adult and child pairs. If you would like to come with two or more children, give us a call and we might be able to suggest an alternative option.

With a maximum of 12 guests, we keep classes intimate, relaxed and fun. Help yourselves to refreshments before being greeted by your chef who will demonstrate some processes before helping you get hands-on cooking your own dishes.

For some activities you may be required to work as a pair and share a workstation or equipment – we find this a great way to get to know new people and share a love of cooking, too. There'll always be plenty to eat in class, a glass of something nice to go alongside, and any leftover creations to take home (we'll provide containers but you can bring your own or a cool bag if you'd like to keep lots!) along with printed copies of all the recipes you've made.

Before each class we'll email you a recipe pack with a full ingredients and equipment list, plus any preparation instructions. We try to squeeze a lot into 90 minutes so you'll need to have the ingredients weighed out and equipment ready, and some classes may require a little bit of preparation such as soaking an ingredient overnight.

Your chef teacher will take you through everything in class, so if you've forgotten something, don’t panic! We can also suggest alternatives if you haven't got a particular piece of equipment or can’t get a certain ingredient, so get in touch if any problems.

Anyone! You do not need any cooking experience and you can book as an individual, couple or as a small group. We have specific children's, teens and family classes for ages 6+ at our Woking Academy. All adult classes and London classes are suitable for age 16+.

If you have any accessibility needs or if there's anything we can do to help make your experience more comfortable, please let us know in the booking form or give us a call to chat through.

Each booking is for one household or device, so you can have the whole family cooking along if you like. Children (under 16) are welcome to join in but must be accompanied by an adult. If you'd like to scale up a meal to feed more people, just contact us and we'll happily recommend how best to do this.

The classes are designed for all levels of experience and to be cooked in home kitchens, so you can take part no matter whether you're a complete beginner or already a confident cook.

You're welcome to join wherever you are in the world, just note that all times are UK GMT and will be hosted in English.

Our classes are fun and relaxed, so it doesn't matter if they are already confident in the kitchen or just starting out. They'll be surrounded by other children of a similar age (6-10 year olds or 11-15 year olds) with a chef teacher guiding them safely through simple recipes.

For some activities, they may be required to work as a pair and share a workstation or equipment, so it’s a great chance for friends or siblings to cook together, or for children on their own to have a laugh with other classmates.

Refreshments are available throughout and there will be plenty for them to taste in class. Usually they'll have some of their creations to take home, too.

Our classes are fun and relaxed, offering the perfect environment to learn to cook as a family. You'll join us as an adult (18 years old +) and child (6 years old +) pair, and be guided by our chefs in how you can cook easy family recipes together, sharing the tasks and helping each other in the kitchen.

Refreshments are available throughout and you'll end up with a tasty meal or box of baked goods to take home with you.

Our classes are aimed at helping everyone grow their confidence in the kitchen, whatever your level of experience. The most important thing is that you love food and are willing to give it a go!

If you have any concerns or would like advice on suitable classes, get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Although we might not be able to change recipes within the class, we can often suggest alternatives for certain ingredients so get in touch with any questions.

Please note, we are not able to adapt our Pasta or Bread classes to suit gluten-free requirements. 

We'll always try to accommodate any specific requirements for your children but there are some classes and recipes we might not be able to adapt. Please do let us know any requirements in the booking form or contact us to see what we can do.

We unfortunately cannot guarantee an allergen or nut-free environment in any of our kitchens.

All Junior chefs must be dropped off and collected by an adult who must sign them in and out and provide contact details for while they are with us at the Academy.

We’ll provide aprons on the day and recommend comfy clothes and flat, closed-toe footwear (sorry, no sandals or flips flops!) as they’ll be moving around and on their feet quite a bit in the kitchen. All equipment and ingredients are provided, as well as takeaway containers for any food they want to take home with them, although feel free to provide your own containers.

Please return 10-15 minutes before the class finish time to collect your Junior chefs - you're very welcome to relax in our comfy library with a coffee while you wait!

We're sure there won't be, but just in case we will require a mobile phone number for a parent or responsible adult and request you remain local and contactable during the class. If someone else is collecting your child at the end of the class, please let us know on arrival.

We’re handily located in Woking town centre, have a look at our Contact page for all location and travel advice.

Our online classes are hosted virtually on Zoom – you’ll be sent an invite and instructions on how to join the class via email. Please note, class times are for the UK/London timezone, so if joining internationally, please do check out the time difference for where you are.

We recommend using a laptop, desktop computer or large tablet set up in your kitchen (try covering the keyboard with cling film to avoid sticky keys!) with your camera turned on so that our chefs can see what you're doing and help you along the way. You'll need a good internet connection and don't forget to plug in or check the battery has enough charge.

The classes are filmed live in the Academy with one of our chef teachers showing you exactly how to make a dish so you can follow along at home. You’ll be able to ask questions throughout and gain valuable tips as in any class.

We'll provide you with an apron on the day and recommend comfy clothes and flat, closed-toe footwear (sorry, no big heels or flips flops!) as you’ll be moving around and on your feet quite a bit in the kitchen.

All equipment and ingredients are provided, as well as takeaway containers for any food you want to take home with you, although feel free to bring your own containers or a cool bag if you're travelling.

You will take your examination during your course at The Academy. This is externally marked by WSET and therefore is not awarded on the day. Participants will be notified in a timely manner of their results and successful participants will receive their certificates and pin badges in the post. 

For more information on the examinations, resit options and more, please see the WSET Terms and Conditions.
