Gordon has always been passionate about sharing his love of food and the Gordon Ramsay Academy is where this is brought to life, offering guests of all ages and all levels of cooking ability the chance to enjoy fun, relaxed and informative cookery classes.
With multiple kitchens and a large demonstration room upstairs, the Academy is set up for a real hands-on experience in every class. There’s plenty of space for both intimate sessions and larger groups, plus inspiration from our cookbook library and room to relax with a coffee in our comfy lounge.
“The Academy is something I’ve been passionate about for a long time. Not only will we offer guests of all ages and abilities the chance to learn in what I hope will be fun, relaxed and also really informative classes, but there’s also so much potential for more – exciting events, Michelin-starred dining and development opportunities for chefs, home-cooks and anyone who loves food.
The thing about cooking is that you never stop learning. It’s a journey and I can’t wait to share it with you all.”

Andrew Roberts
Head Chef
Top tip: Brunch for a crowd? Poach the eggs ahead! Poach the eggs for 2-3 mins then cool in iced water. When ready, simmer for 1 min to heat through.
Beatrice Brügger
Senior Chef Teacher
Top tip: Put any veg scraps and peelings in a bag in the freezer, they're great for making homemade stocks and soups and reduce food waste.
Sue Lewis
Senior Chef Teacher
Top tip: Make sure your butter is chilled before using it to make pastry!
Sally Codling
Chef Teacher
Top tip: For super easy peeling, after topping and tailing a kiwi fruit, peel one strip with a knife then run a dessert spoon around inside the skin to peel it perfectly. Ta dah!
Tarrant Ablett
Chef Teacher
Top tip: Cook to temperature, not time! Use a kitchen thermometer to check meat or fish are ready, as cooking times vary depending on thickness, ovens and so many other factors.
Mark Pocock
Chef Teacher
Top tip: Use 'best before dates' as a guide - trust your senses! Especially when it comes to fruit and veg, you will know if it smells, looks or feels off and you can avoid a huge amount of food waste.
Pete Lien
Chef Teacher
When sweating onions, put them in a cold pan with cold oil and a pinch of salt, then turn on the heat. The oil and onions will heat up at the same rate, reducing the risk of uneven browning or burning.
