How to Book a Private Event at Our Cook School

A private event at our London cook school goes beyond your typical party. In a small, interactive environment, you’ll work with colleagues, friends, or family to cook a feast from scratch, learning valuable culinary skills that last a lifetime. Here, we've tried to cover the most frequently asked questions on booking a private event. If you still have questions, or would like to book an event, email cookschool@boroughkitchen.com.

Allergies

Please notify us more than 24 hours in advance if anybody in your party has any allergies, intolerances, or dietary requirements. We will do our best to accommodate them.  

Drinks Policy

A glass of wine, beer, or a soft drink is included with the price of every cook school ticket. 

We offer a variety of wine packages to compliment your private event in partnership with St John Wine, the details of which will be sent upon your enquiry. You also have the option to BYOB, with a corkage fee (more details upon enquiry). 

Please remind guests to bring valid IDs with them, as we operate a 'Challenge 25' policy, where we reserve the right to check ID for any students under or around the age of 25. Any student who arrives to class intoxicated, or appears to be so during class, will be asked to leave and not qualify for a refund.
