Absolutely loved this class! The staff were so lovely and helpful and made it very easy to get comfortable in the class. Really enjoyed the fast pace of the class as well.

The class was very enjoyable, Wendy was great, explained everything perfectly & helped everybody when they needed it, Rhonda was also a huge help in the kitchen. The food was amazing & the overall experience was excellent! I highly recommend this class to others.

What a wonderful concept. Learning to cook delicious duck dishes from the comfort of my own kitchen. Booking online was easy, emails leading up to the class were timely and informative, the delivery of the duck and ingredients went smoothly, the preparation instructions were easy to follow and the class was fun and interactive. I delighted my family with the amazing duck meal I prepared.

— Theresa

Loved the format and kitchen layout but found the bench space /stove restricted with everyone cooking. Room was incredibly hot and uncomfortable. Breakdown of a duck informative. Confy, casserole and parfait excellent and really simple compared to many recipes we have seen. Use of duck sausage rather then pork was interesting as duck and fennel sausage had excellent flavour. Will add to our shopping list. Various duck breast dishes ok but way too much food. Had a good night and enjoyed the experience.

— Patricia

the class was a wonderful experience..great fun working in a commercial kitchen with a group of cooks. The recipes are ‘simple when you know how’ and I’ve practised them all since the class. I’d love to come back for the Christmas cook

— Karen

THIS CLASS WAS FANTASTIC – IT WAS RELAXED AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. WE LEARNT SO MUCH AS THE TEACHERS WERE SO CARING AND KNOWLEDGABLE. THE FACILITIES WERE EXCELLENT AND THE COURSE IS GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY AS WE HAD A WONDERFUL DINNER WITH WINE AND SHARED WHAT WE COOKED – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND AN EXCELLENT GIFT.

— Greg

What a fun class. Our instructor, Wendy, gives very clear instructions on each aspect of cooking with duck, from dissecting the raw duck to the method of cooking each fabulous French dish. Amazing the many different flavours that I now know I can add to my list. Wendy never misses a beat.

— Margaret

This was my first class here and I will definitely consider other classes here and recommend to my friends. Excellent preparation and clear guidance from the warm and friendly teaching lead, I learnt a lot of new and easy French duck dishes. A warm welcome and wonderful experience. Great for food lovers and a good gift idea. Thanks!

My husband and I participated in the french inspired duck on Saturday and we loved it. We were in a class of 10 with each pair making 2 different dishes. We went through basics like roasting and cutting a duck to making confit duck. Then it came to sitting down for lunch and eating our 10 dishes with wine. OMG we ate well. Wendy was very patient and knowledeable and Gail did all our dishes. It was an amazing afternoon. We will be back!

— Peter

The French Inspired Duck class was very informative. The hands on cooking really helps you learn the techniques. There was some much food available to sample that I could try everything on offer.

— Pamela

Such a great class. Thanks to Wendy as chef for all her tips and to the amazing Rhonda for literally running around everyone all night keeping dishes clean and everything in order!!!

— KazBrize

A very enjoyable night, good conversations, a few laughs, great food and very good teacher. Thankyou Wendy, Pony and the team.

— Katie

The lesson was excellent – very informative, very professional, very well organised and very enjoyable. Wendy is a great communicator and patient, with a good sense of humour. I would highly recommend this experience.

— Peter

Absolutely the best cooking course around. Wendy explained everything there is to know about ducks and cooking them. Totally possible to cook all these dishes at home, and we have already done three in the week. Great product and a course well worth doing.

— Judy

Do it…. Seriously, take the class. Wendy was a great teacher, I was left without a partner and that didn’t matter in the slightest. The food tasted incredible and the recipes are so simple… do yourself a big favour and take the class!

— Matthew

This class was fantastic, Wendy was a wonderful teacher and I feel far more confident cooking with duck but also being in the kitchen and cooking in general.

— Ash

Great experience and learning – highly recommend

— Simon

This was a fun and educational class. From the coffee on arrival to the buffet at the end, it is non-stop learning. I don’t know what other classes are like, but learning how to section a duck and cooking in a commercial kitchen were my highlights.

— Simon

wonderful, instructive, delicious. Great value for money, plus all the other guests/participants were very nice company, too.
definitely worth a return visit.

— James

We're a ducking good time

We’ve got hands-on classes, talented chefs, and a whole lot of fun!
