What do pasta-making classes involve?
Our classes are lively, fun-filled and hands-on affairs. You’ll be greeted with a glass of Prosecco and a generous antipasti platter on arrival, before being shown to your workstations. Each class is led by one of our expert Pasta Evangelists chefs, who will guide your group through each stage of the pasta-making process. We also offer a number of optional drinks packages to complement the pasta-making activity. At the end of the class, everyone gets to sit down and enjoy their freshly made pasta creations.
How long do classes last?
Each class lasts 2.5 hours, which includes time for everyone to sit down and enjoy their freshly cooked pasta. We can extend the class length to suit your requirements, but we will need to charge for any additional drinks during this time.
What if I want a drinks package, but don't want Prosecco or Champagne?
We’d be delighted to design a drinks package to suit you. If you’d prefer unlimited wine, beer or soft drinks, just let us know when you enquire.
If I don't choose a drinks package, can guests still order drinks if they want to?
Of course! We can take payments individually from guests who wish to purchase additional drinks during the event if they aren't included in the package.
What if someone in my group has a dietary requirement or allergy?
We can accommodate most dietary requirements, including vegetarian and vegan guests. Guests with a gluten intolerance are also welcome to participate in the pasta-making activity; we’ll just serve them a gluten-free pasta dish at the end of the class. For allergies, please be aware that there is a risk of cross contamination as we work in an open plan space.
