What guests say
Guests love it
Each part of the feast was full of flavour, with food I had never tasted before. The dances, the sitar and the cultural celebration were amazing to watch.
Martin, Sunday Social guest
Strangers mingled, had lovely conversations, laughed and enjoyed the food. We left feeling replenished and restored.
Roisin, Sunday Social guest
It was everything and more. Welcoming and friendly, and food just kept arriving with tastes never experienced before.

Your questions
I’m a complete beginner. Will I be lost?
Not at all. Most guests are beginners. We start from the basics and guide you all the way.
Will I cook, or just watch?
You cook. We demonstrate each technique, then you do it yourself while we help.
What should I bring?
Just yourself. An apron is handy, and a reusable container if you’d like to take leftovers home.
Is it suitable for vegans?
Yes. We always cook vegan options: just let us know after booking.
What about allergies?
Please tell us about any allergy before you book. Our kitchen handles nuts, sesame, mustard, milk and other allergens, so we’ll check what we can safely do.
Where is it?
At our Indian Food Hub: Unit E4, Haig Enterprise Park, Kells, Whitehaven CA28 9AN.
