Delicious food, Nom was fantastic.

Had a great morning cooking some delicious Thai dishes with our chef Nom who was lovely. Thoroughly enjoyable and cannot wait to try some of these dishes when we get back home.

Great Thai cooking Class

Great experience and a Lovely chef/hostess and a small group of keen pupils. I’d recommend skipping breakfast and lunch as there’s lots of lovely food to cook and sample. Fabulous way to spend an afternoon learning to cook some classic Thai dishes- highly recommend.

Great experience but overpriced

Highly enjoyable half day spent cooking 5 different Thai dishes & learning about the ingredients. The food was delicious & best of all you get to eat it & get a file to keep with the recipes in it. There were 8 of us & we found it very interesting, In spite of this, at over £60 a person it is overpriced. Another gripe was we got an email 2 days before, confirming the booking, then received another just 3 hours later stating our booking would have to be rescheduled (we booked it 2 months ago!) due to over subscription and offering us 2 alternative dates & times. Fortunately, we were able to make one of these dates so didn’t have to cancel. We asked when we emailed, what had happened & weren’t given a response. So thankful we didn’t miss out!
