So if you've got a special January signature dish, email it in (hello@visitthekitchen.com)

The Robots Have Unlocked Us

Well after a couple of weeks it seems like the the Robots have unlocked us and we're free to express ourselves again.

Not sure where to start, wine tasting, hen nights, Stir Up Sunday, children's parties, school visits, screen tests, Canape sessions, new desserts.

Basically we've been working harder than a butcher's elbow, and if you want to know what that's like, book in for Andrew Sharp and his legendary Masterclass, Saturday 13th December.

We're also lucky enough to have Kai Kyoichi, responsible for setting up and opening Zuma and Roka restaurants joining us for a Sushi Masterclass 2nd December. One not to be missed. A real honour for us.

December and January menu is virtually up and some real treats in-store.

Man's Best Friend


We just wanted to say well done to our friends Simon, Rhodri and Ben from Bulldog who won HSBC Startup of the Year last week.


A fantastic achievement from a group of really lovely guys, and it inspires us even more to know that good guys can win and that the spirit of entrepreneurialism is still truly alive in the UK.

Saturday Kids Club


We always wanted The Kitchen to be more than just about the eating of great food. For us we believe that the preparation is as important as the actual eating, and that it should be fun.

But we also believe that it should involve the whole family and that by making the whole process more enjoyable and interesting, it encourages children to experiment and eat different foods.

We've therefore created a Saturday Kids Club (11.30 every week) session where mums or dads can bring their children (over 10) to come and help create the families weekly meals. Due to space, it will be 1 adult and child per Workstation.

For this session we've kept the menu the same as we are firm believers that children generally will and want to eat the same meals as their parents.

Incidentally I've heard once that habits form after doing something 21 times, and children need to taste a food over 10 times (sometimes) before they'll say they like it. 

Book online or give us a call.

The Baby Kitchen

We've had so many requests for a session where new mums could bring their babies we've created a new session especially for you - The Baby Kitchen

It's exclusively for parents (and carers) and their babies under 1 year old. It runs every Tuesday at 9.30am (starting this Tuesday 23rd September) and parents and carers can enjoy one of The Kitchen’s session by coming along to make their weekly meals with our Michelin star chef without worrying about the babysitter or disturbing others.
 
Simply book the session and bring your baby along and we can promise we'll help you create some deliciously tasting meals.
 
Please note that all persons must be accompanied by a baby under 1 year old.

Book online or give us a call.

Who's Making Lunch?

Well you are of course, with a little help from us. 

We've put on a new special lunch-time session. You can turn up anytime from 12pm for your session. There's no fixed start time as lots of people said they took lunch at different times.

When you arrive, tell us what sandwich you want for lunch, we'll make it whilst you create your meals, and we'll then have it ready for when you leave.

You can make about 5 different meals (20 portions) in an hour, more than enough for a week.
