How to Book

Booking Information

Courses are individually priced and include VAT. Please be aware that numbers are limited and courses do get booked up early, so to avoid disappointment do not delay in making your reservation. To reserve your place on any course please phone 01423 814016.

Booking Conditions

To ensure you get the very best out of your time with us, please read the following guidelines:

• Payment will be required at the time of booking by credit or debit card.

• Students must be over 17 years unless otherwise stated in the calendar.

• You will receive a Bettys Cookery School apron. If you have an apron from one of our previous courses and don’t wish to receive another, let us know at the time of booking and we’ll reduce the course price by £5. You will need to bring your old apron to wear on the day.

• When booking a place, please notify us of any food intolerances or allergies we need to be aware of when preparing your lunch or supper. Unfortunately, we are not able to adapt the course content to suit particular dietary tastes.

• If you have a medical condition that might affect your ability to take part or follow instructions, it’s really important that you let us know at the time of booking – during your course you may be on your feet for long periods and at times will be working with relatively little supervision.

• Our Cookery School is accessible directly from the car park up a gentle slope, and our facilities, including toilets, are fully accessible. However, if you have any queries about access, we’d be happy to help.

• For your safety, we ask you to always follow your course tutor’s instructions. A kitchen environment inevitably involves heat and sharp utensils, so it’s important everyone conducts themselves and dresses appropriately. We recommend wearing a long-sleeved top and sensible footwear.

• Please note that smoking is not permitted on-site.

• Protecting the health and safety of all our staff and customers always comes first. That’s why we reserve the right to decline a booking or to ask a customer to leave a course, without reimbursement of the course fee, if we believe there may be an unacceptable risk to their health or safety or to that of our other customers and tutors.

As numbers are limited, courses get booked up early. To avoid disappointment don’t delay in making your reservation!

Our office hours are Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5.30pm. Please note we will be closed on Monday 4 May, Monday 25 May and Monday 31 August for national bank holidays.
