We used the cookery club a few weeks ago, they have quite a number of classes on sea days with a morning session at 10am which is usually savoury and 3pm which is usually sweet.

They also had hosted meals alongside the tutored sessions.

 

You can book through the 'App' when you board, it doesn't tell you the prices but they leave a leaflet in your cabin on the first day with the full selection and prices, which is 45pp.

 

We had no problem with availability, usually a booking for 2 share a workbench but my partner and I ended up having our own as there was space. You can also cancel bookings within MyHoliday 'App'.

 

We took the Chocolate course which involved 'Chef' giving a live demonstration of making honeycomb, then he walked us through chocolate brownies and chocolate truffles which we observed and then went back to our benches to follow along.

At the end of the course you get to take what you made back to your cabin, and are also given a little booklet with the recipes to keep.

We went to the Cookery Club on Britannia, pre-COVID. It was hosted by James Martin, it was brilliant. He cooked two courses which we had to then replicate with his and his team’s help. He was really amusing and we loved it. After we had cooked we sat round a big table and James came to comment on our efforts. It was a great morning.

If you ever get the chance to have the meal in the Cookery Club when Marco is onboard and overseeing the cooking then it is well worth the extortionate cost. It is without doubt the best meal that I have had on any cruise ship - and better than 90% that I have had on land.

Thanks for all your comments and help.
