We are fully approved activity providers of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award residential courses, and our fantastic 5-day courses give students skills and confidence to cook healthy, delicious food for life. Each day is dedicated to food suited to a student budget and covers fish, meat, vegetables, pasta, rice, puddings, bread, biscuits and cakes.
The courses are true confidence and team building experiences, with small classes of no more than 12 young people working in a stunning kitchen with professional tutors. Our location means all the historical, cultural and leisure offers of our world renown city is there for students to enjoy. The course includes fun evening activities ranging from Treasure Hunts around historical Cambridge to cycle picnics and bowling. These are compulsory for DofE participants and optional and open to all students participating in the residential package.
Our residential package includes accommodation at Homerton college which is located next door to Cambridge Cookery School. For DofE Gold award students the residential package is compulsory. For all other students the residential element is optional.
Each day includes breakfast, elevenses, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner and students will not require any additional meals.
“I have had the pleasure of bringing school groups to Cambridge Cookery School twice, and on both occasions the students absolutely loved the experience. Most had little to no experience cooking and yet were all excited to try and recreate the recipes at home! At the end we sat together and ate our creation, it was a perfect way to round off the session. I cannot compliment the staff enough with their patience and understanding, while their love of cooking was infectious. Many thanks Cambridge Cookery School and we will undoubtedly come and visit again!”

Our fantastic 5-day course gives students skills and confidence to cook healthy delicious food for life. Each day is dedicated to food suited to a student budget and covers fish, meat, vegetables, pasta, rice, pulses, puddings, bread, biscuits and cakes.
The course puts in place skills for life and encourages an interest in cooking by building confidence. Students work in small classes in a stunning kitchen with a high ratio of tutors to students.
Our location means that we can offer students a taste of Cambridge and our DofE evening activities include punting and a walk around historical Cambridge. These are compulsory for DofE participants only.
For DofE Residential participants the residential package is compulsory.
Students stay either across the road from us in Homerton college rooms, and get a little taste of being a Cambridge student, or, if Coronavirus related restrictions still apply, at the Travelodge less than 8 min walk from us.
We are found at the very end of Purbeck Road (off Hills Rd by the sixth form centre) where you turn left by Abbey college and then carry straight on for about 60m to the white awnings you will see ahead.
