The location is beautiful and the cookery school is modern well equipped and stunning. Situated in a converted barn it’s beautiful. Spotlessly clean, parking and toilet facilities. Really friendly trainer and a fun informative course but the best part is to be able to all sit as a group round the lovely dining table and eat your prepared food. I’ve recommended you to lots of people and I know a few who will definitely book. Thanks again for the coffee and biscuits too. We had a great day.

This was my first course at Ground Up, I have been to three others in the region and this for a young company was equal to them. The ‘chef’ Mel was excellent, her delivery was spot on for the audience of 16 quite knowledgeable attendees and she was able to answer most of the quite challenging questions. We all learnt not only how to make good pasta and sauces but had some useful incidental tips such as grinding garlic into a paste using salt and roiling herb leaves and cutting only once to prevent bruising. I will be back!

An excellent guide to pasta making by Mel who give clear instructions and demonstrations of all the practical steps and then we had a fun opportunity to have a go - and you get to eat the results. Yum!

I just wanted to share how much my daughter, Zoë, and I recently enjoyed attending a pasta-making workshop at Ground Up Cookery. It was such a great experience from start to finish! We knew we were in for a treat when we entered the warm and inviting kitchen. The instructor, Mel, was incredibly skilled, super friendly, and patient. She made the whole pasta-making process seem so accessible and fun!

Zoë was over the moon to get her hands into the dough, and I was thrilled to see her so engaged and excited about cooking. The hands-on experience allowed us to take time with each step, from kneading the dough to shaping our pasta. We were able to savour the entire process.

The best part was getting to taste our delicious creations at the end. Thanks to the expert guidance, our pasta turned out mouth-watering! It was more than just a cooking class; it was a memorable bonding experience. We left with full stomachs, a deeper appreciation for the art of pasta making, and, most importantly, big smiles on our faces. We're already looking forward to our next session! It was a five-star experience!

What a brilliant course! Excellent for adults and those older children that have mastered cupcakes and want something a bit more grown up as it’s a great cookery confidence building course (and you realise that homemade pasta dishes are so delicious). Thanks all!
