Upcoming Courses

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.
