At the heart of the beautiful village of Abinger Hammer, based in a former pub building, The Abinger Cookery School is a Surrey food and drink hub led by passionate food lovers.

Taking a personal approach to cookery lessons, their talented chefs teach a variety of courses in small groups with the picturesque Surrey Hills as the backdrop to it all.

The Abinger Cookery School is an idyllic place to improve your cooking skills and is found only just over an hour away from central London in the Surrey countryside.

From sushi workshops to street food evenings, fish and seafood, steaks and sauces, pasta making and bread baking the cookery school programme appeals to everyone from novices and adventurous home cooks to chefs aiming to broaden their skill sets.

They also host children’s cookery workshops, which not only help to set the next generation of chefs on their way but also help educate kids about where their food comes from.
