Corporate Classes

The move to the new premises in Wendell Road has given the school an extra kitchen. Not only will this be used for running more one day courses, but we now have greater availability for corporate groups to have bespoke classes both during the day and in the evenings. It can also be hired to both companies and individuals and provides the perfect location for press launches and photo shoots.
