Looking for some inspiration for your next curry night? Instead of reaching for the takeaway menu, join us for a fun evening demonstration where our chefs will show you how easy it is to cook up a delicious Indian-style feast at home, starting with a classic fragrant paste and moving on to curries, sides and more.
Our Taste demonstration evenings allow you to sit back and relax as our chefs showcase exciting ingredients, break down dishes and de-mystify tricky techniques to inspire you to give them a go at home.
As a demonstration only, there’s no pressure – you get to watch, listen and learn, enjoy a drink and plenty of tasters, and quiz the chefs on anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to know about cooking your own curries and getting perfect rice at home.
You’ll finish the night with recipes and information to take away, and hopefully the urge to build on this introduction – you can always book on one of our longer Indian cooking classes for some hands-on practice, too.
Class starts: 6.30pm, arrive anytime from 6pm to check in at reception
Class finishes: 8pm, stay and chat to fellow guests or pop down to Street Burger for dinner
Class size: Maximum 25 guests
Typical recipes and skills (we’ll cook the best available on the day, so we might surprise you!):

Of course! If booking for six or more (or more than 10 devices for an online class), please get in touch with our Private Dining and Events team who can help create an amazing experience just for you.
If you love food and are over 16 years old (18 years old for wine tastings or cocktail making), then come along. You can book as an individual, couple or as a small group.
If you have any accessibility needs or if there's anything we can do to help make your experience more comfortable, please let us know in the booking form or give us a call to chat through.
Don't panic! The demonstration will include some tasters to try but you can always opt out of these. We'll always try to accommodate any specific requirements if we can and you can let us know about these in the booking form.
Otherwise do contact us to discuss a particular class or booking. You could also consider booking a private class through our Private Dining and Events team that's tailored to your needs.
We unfortunately cannot guarantee an allergen or nut-free environment in any of our kitchens.
