Booking Terms & Conditions

How to book a cooking class or Secret Kitchen dinner:

• Choose your preferred event date(s) and email Anna to check availability and make your booking.  Please note that many events fill up several weeks or even months in advance, so early booking is advised.  Please make sure Anna knows of any special dietary requirements.

Cancellation policy:

• If you need to cancel or change your event booking, we will need a minimum of four weeks’ notice.
