About this space

Versatile Event Space is an Event Space in the Cooking It cookery school, defined by a practical, kitchen-focused environment that supports hands-on activity.

Design: Interior is practical and uncluttered, laid out as an open rectangular room with neutral walls and durable, easy‑clean finishes. Tall shopfront windows supply plentiful daylight and clear sightlines across the space.

Features: Dedicated cookery equipment and prep areas are available to support interactive sessions and demonstrations. An audio setup includes a PA system and speakers, and hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ subject to the venue's noise restrictions. Wi‑Fi and wheelchair access are provided. In-house chef instruction and staff support for setup and clean-up can be arranged.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an interactive, relaxed social gathering centred on hands-on cooking and communal dining.

What guests say: The room is well organised for group activity and supports practical learning. The space feels welcoming and easy to use for shared post-session dining.
