About this space

Culinary Artistas is a hands-on culinary studio and event venue centred on an open demonstration kitchen and long communal benches that define its practical, studio-style layout.

Design: The space has a studio interior with exposed ceiling beams, a teal-accent wall and a white modular kitchen unit. Natural light, woven pendant lamps, timber benches and industrial metal chairs give a straightforward, workroom feel.

Features: An open demonstration kitchen provides preparation counters and integrated cabinetry for live cooking. Fixed long communal benches combine with movable metal chairs to create workshop-style layouts. A PA system and speakers, allowed own music or a hired DJ option, and on-site Wi‑Fi support audio needs. Accessibility features include a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets, and the room benefits from abundant natural light.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an interactive, informal and social workshop-style gathering centred on shared food preparation and hands-on participation.

What guests say: The venue is easy to run events in thanks to attentive on-site staff and clear, plug-and-play arrangements. The space is family-friendly and supports confident participation from less experienced cooks through practical layouts and helpful instruction.

Funeral Reception · 50 guests · October 2025
Great space. Beautiful location. Easy to get set up and connect to the AV. Had all the flatware/glassware/silverware we needed and the cleaning staff was super friendly and helpful.
Nothing. Couldn’t have been better.

Party · 40 guests · August 2024
The location, the view and the amenities were fantastic. They had everything we needed to throw a birthday party with 30 guests. The space is so easy to configure, we had plenty of room for a dancefloor. The kitchen had everything we need such as platters for the charcuterie, wine glasses, plates, silverware, cutting boards, knives, etc. Clean up was so easy and that's what you want after a good party - no sweeping up or doing dishes! Loved the space and will definitely keep it in mind for future events.

Rachel was a great host, responsive, and friendly. The place is very well equipped, offers many personalisation possibilities, and is greatly located. We will rent from her again in the future.
