Facilities
The main teaching area of the kitchen has 7 domestic cookery stations (one for a leader and 6 for participants, with space for people to work around both sides of the U-shaped layout – see virtual tour below), one of which is height-adjustable/ wheelchair accessible.
Our kitchen was designed by Claire Potter, an interior architect and award-winning designer who specialises in sustainable design to ensure we reduce our environmental impact. The kitchen includes a balance of quality, new kitchen equipment alongside recycled and reused materials. The design prioritises accessibility and flexibility – from specialist accessible cookery equipment to adaptable areas for dining and food preparation.
Capacity
Typically 12-20 participants cooking, depending on the activity. We can accommodate up to 40 people standing.
Our capacity is now reduced due to Covid-19 safety measures but exact figures depend on the type of activity and how many households are attending the event. Please contact us to discuss.
