The four questions most readers ask first.
If your question fits one of these, you may not need to write at all — but you're always welcome to anyway.
How do I reserve a Saturday workshop chair?
Send us a note using the form above with the date you'd like to attend, the number of chairs (one or two), and any dietary swaps we should know about. We confirm by email within two working days and follow up with a secure payment link.
What's your refund policy if I can't attend?
You may cancel up to 14 days before a workshop for a full refund. Cancellations 7 — 14 days before receive a 50% refund or a free transfer to a later date. Within 7 days, transfers are still welcome but refunds are not given. The full set of terms is on our terms of use page, and your statutory rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 are not affected.
Can I visit without booking a workshop?
Visits are by appointment only. We're a small working kitchen, not a shop — please send a note first so the kettle is on and the bench is clear when you arrive.
Do you reply on weekends?
The kitchen rests on Sundays and Mondays. Notes that arrive on the weekend are read first thing on Tuesday morning. Workshop emergencies (a missed bus, a last-minute swap) are answered any day of the week.
The walk from the wharf to the kitchen.
A short, gently uphill stroll from the Diamond Harbour ferry stop. There's a green gate at the corner and a small chalkboard on the wall.
A small timetable for your morning.
Please confirm departure times directly with the operator. Times shown are indicative for weekday autumn schedules.
