The Abinger Cookery School

In the heart of the Surrey Hills, a pub was lovingly turned into The Abinger Cookery School and is run by a group of food-loving enthusiasts.

The school offers a personal approach to cookery lessons. We teach in small groups, allowing time to get to know you and to encourage you to improve your cooking skills.

We endeavour to work with as many local businesses as possible.

Our Customers' Experiences

They say the proof is in the pudding, and we couldn't agree more! Here's what our customers have to say about their experience at The Abinger Cookery School.

I had a blast at the Weber Grill Academy course. The hands-on experience was invaluable, and I loved learning about the different grilling techniques and how to get the most out of my Weber grill. I can't wait to impress my friends and family with my new grilling skills.

"I was a bit nervous about spending a week away from home, but the DofE course at Abinger was fantastic. The chefs were patient and encouraging, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. I learned so much about cooking, and I can't wait to try out my new skills at home."

The chefs were super helpful and the atmosphere was really fun. I learned so much and can’t wait to impress my friends and family with my new skills. Definitely worth it!"
