Trust our Head Chef Tutor to inspire you and stretch your imagination, from modern British dishes and authentic Asian cuisine to pasta masterclasses, family favourites, and sweet treats. With a state-of-the-art kitchen, The Cookery School is set within the five-star hotel, The Grand, York, former home to the North Eastern Railway headquarters. With sixteen workstations, access to a private courtyard, adjoining meeting space and a private dining room, the contemporary cookery school is the perfect space for a team-building day with a difference.
Welcome your team to an immersive and dynamic day with a glass of wine on arrival, before hosting a half-day meeting, followed by a private express, half-day or full-day cookery class. Finally round off the day by enjoying the dishes that the team have created, in the private dining room, with two glasses of wine. All guests will depart with a cookery school apron and newfound skills, ready to make gourmet dishes at home.

Conscious of its mark on the planet, The Grand, York aims to choose sustainable options wherever possible. These choices cover all areas of the business including The Cookery School. As a destination that is known for its dining, we are passionate about supporting local food suppliers that deliver high-quality products with the environment in mind and animal welfare at the core. Additionally, The Cookery School at The Grand, York, does not use single-use plastics but instead finds sustainable alternatives that are kinder to the environment, such as using compostable cling film and sous vide pouches.
