Private cooking classes and events

Our private cooking classes and dinners are the perfect setting to create memorable moments with friends, to celebrate a birthday or to mark a special milestone

For our private events we have two options to choose from, a cooking class followed by a meal or a private dinner where we take care of the cooking so that you can enjoy a delicious Italian meal with friends.

COOKING CLASS:

More than just about food, our events are a unique experience, different from others. Our family style kitchen in Notting Hill brings people together in a warm and charming space all whilst learning how to cook authentic Italian recipes.

We will welcome your group with an aperitivo before starting the cooking to create a feast of seasonal antipasti, homemade pasta and a seasonal dessert. The cooking will last about 1h30 and before sitting down to enjoy a delicious meal of everything created together.

Classes last 3 hours which includes the time to enjoy the meal. There is the option to add extra time onto your booking to enjoy the space for an additional hour.

PRIVATE DINNER:

Our private dinners are typically a three hour event where we will serve a delicious menu of four sharing antipasti, followed by a pasta dish and a dessert. We will send you menu options to chose from and there is the option to add extra time onto your booking to enjoy the space for an additional hour.

  • Wines for Your Event

    We’re delighted to offer you the flexibility to bring your own wines for your event, ensuring you can match your selection to your group’s preferences. To make things as seamless as possible, we can offer three convenient options for your wine delivery:

    1. Bring Your Own
      Simply bring your chosen wines with you on the day of your event.

    2. Pre-Event Delivery
      Have your wines delivered the day before your event, and we'll have them perfectly stored or chilled and ready in our wine fridge upon your arrival.

    3. Curated Wine Selection for your Enrica Rocca Cooking School
      We’ve partnered with the wonderful wine merchant Honest Grapes, based in London to help you with your wine orders for your Enrica Rocca Cooking Class. Family friend and wine guru Tom Harrow who runs Honest Grapes has curated a selection of wines that complements our current seasonal menu for you to choose from. You can order your wines directly here and we will organise for the delivery of wines to arrive in time for your cooking class. 


    How Much to Order?
    We recommend budgeting for one bottle of wine per person. Any unopened bottles can be taken home with you after the event.

  • Vegetarians and Dietary Requirements
    We can adapt the menu to cater to vegetarians, vegans and almost all other dietary requirements. 

    Allergies

    At Enrica Rocca Cookery School, we prioritise allergen awareness and strive to accommodate ingredient substitutions. Despite our efforts, we must inform you that our family-style kitchen environment presents inherent risks of cross-contamination, and as such, we cannot guarantee complete allergen isolation during your experience with us.

  • We have plenty of options to make your event that little bit more special:

    • Personalised Apron with your company name (please allow a three week lead time) Approx £20 per apron

    • An additional hour to host a meeting before your class or to relax and enjoy the space together for another hour after your class - A fixed fee of £250 for an additional hour

    • Meals for those in need - together we will give back to our community by cooking double portions of a wonderful Italian Feast to then donate that extra half of dishes to a fantastic local charity that feeds the homeless- An additional £10 per person to cover the costs and transport of the additional meals.

  • What is your cancellation policy?

    Cancellations must be made at least 1 month before the date you booked to be refunded of your deposit. If you cancel your booking with a 3 week notice you will be able to book another class in a year from the date of your payment without penalty. If you cancel with a shorter notice than 3 weeks you will not be able to book another class and you will be charged the full amount of the event.

    What is the accessibility?
    Unfortunately, as the school is based in an old building we do have limited access which means it is not suitable for wheelchair users or mobility scooters.

    Does the class include alcohol?
    No, but you are more than welcome to Bring Your Own (no corkage fee)
