If you're looking for something a little to do for this year's Christmas party and you happen to work with a load of foodies and cookery enthusiasts, then The Avenue Cookery School in Wandsworth, London, might be just what you've been looking for.
The Avenue started back in 2004, founded by Diana who built her reputation teaching at The Grange Cookery School in Somerset. Once it was time to have her own business, she brought her children on board who help her run things behind the scenes, and in the kitchens, too. As you can imagine, the vibe is warm, friendly and light-hearted, making it the perfect place to host a Christmas-time event.
There are plenty of adult classes on offer, ranging from bottomless booze experiences, bring your own alcohol workshops, and even date nights, but for Christmas parties Diana recommends the bespoke group classes. Here, the team can cater for up to 30 people and work directly with you on your dream menu or experience type. Whether you'd like to make a three-course meal and prepare for Christmas day, learn to cook a fabulous festive pudding or perhaps some gingerbread biscuits for your own Christmas afternoon tea, Diana and her team will help you decide.
If you're lacking inspiration, no bother, as the website shares some examples of previous workshops that might give you some ideas. For example, embrace la dolce vita with pasta making, try your own Great British Bake Off or give sushi making and cocktail shaking a try.
Diana and team are incredibly flexible and have bags of experience hosting Christmas parties, so just get in touch to talk through your options and they'll be only too happy to help.
