Learn to cook new recipes in a small intimate group

Looking for something a little different for your next get-together? Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, organising a work social or simply getting your favourite people together, a private cooking class at The Wee Kitchen is a brilliant way to do it.

Our classes are relaxed, hands-on and full of good food, with plenty of opportunity to chat, laugh and learn something new along the way. Choose from a range of cuisines, bring along your own bottles, and enjoy sitting down together to tuck into everything you’ve made together.

Private cooking classes for parties, celebrations, & vibes

We love hosting private group cooking classes here at The Wee Kitchen. Whether you’re planning a Hen or Stag do, organising a work social, or you’re looking for a fun and unique birthday experience in Edinburgh – we’ve got you covered.

A cooking class can be a great way to break the ice with a new group, bring friends or colleagues together, or just something a bit different for a night out.

Our menus include...

Traditional Scottish, Lebanese, Korean, Greek, Sri Lankan and more

During your masterclass we’ll cook a sit-down multi dish meal, based on whichever menu you choose. From street food to curries and Japanese bar snacks, you’ll master new techniques and learn a dish to impress with at home. 

Every cooking class is a hands-on experience, we can tailor the class to be more or less hands on depending on what your group would prefer

What's included...

For food lovers, foodie friends, curious cooks and keen beginners

Private classes can be totally tailored based on your group’s likes and dislikes. From dietary requirements to ‘I actually can’t stand beetroot’, we can adapt our classes to suit your needs.
