We did a class at the cookery school and it was fantastic! Clare is a wonderful teacher, the class was engaging and fun, and we got lots of treats to take home with us. The group size isn’t too large so there is plenty of opportunity for everybody to ask questions or receive guidance where necessary. We will definitely be coming back for more classes

Got a voucher to go to the French food and wine pairing night at waterman cookery school and it was brilliant. Niall was great, instructed really clearly and was great to listen to as he talked through things. The wine was really nice and the food was the best I’ve ever made and I’ll definitely be using the recipe’s again. I made an onion and thyme tatin, chocolate mousse and creamy chicken leg with a cheese sauce

This month I and a few friends attended the Cookery School at Waterman House for a bread making course. As I'm not very good at anything in the kitchen I was super worried about how I'd cope with making bread from scratch. Turns out I'm OK at it, although I am going to say that was down to the very welcoming and supportive host Claire. She guided us all through the various breads. We made 4 different loaves as well as 2 batches of Pizza dough each. Each person was able to make there own individual pizza, shown how to roll out the base and encouraged to load that bad boy up with as many toppings as we'd like. We each then sat and ate our beautiful pizza and sipped on a glass a wine to finish the session. I can honestly say it was good fun and I learned a lot. I will definitely go back and do another masterclass. The list of classes available varied. Thanks so much to all at Waterman House

Great morning at the cookery school for the BBQ Masterclass. My son & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Recipes were great. Niall’s enthusiasm was great. Would recommend.

We were at a seafood and fish cookery course today, hosted by Niall and Claire. We were taught how to cook 4 dishes. The amount of detail in the course was fantastic, once we cooked each dish we sat down at a family style table and ate each dish, accompanied with wine. Niall and Claire were really engaging and so knowledgeable, I honestly left feeling I could cook those four dishes competently myself and I'm no cook! I highly recommend this to anyone. Such good fun!

Attended the Chinese Cookery School evening with a group from work and loved every minute!!! From the warm welcome to the initial craic and banter from Niall, right through the superb instruction from Claire, the evening was faultless. Every dish was introduced, explained and even adjusted to suit the "wierdo" who didn't like onions (me) lol!!! The time given to help each participant was invaluable and made sure we all had a selection of beautiful dishes to enjoy in a relaxed and engaging atmosphere. Niall even took loads of time at the end to talk to us about his book, his business history and make sure we all got plenty of photos. We will definitely be back for corporate and personal events. Huge thanks Claire and Niall.

I attended a cookery school at The Waterman this past week and had an exceptional experience. The staff were welcoming, professional and knowledgeable. All aspects of the experience were well planned and enjoyable. The whole night was a fantastic that has left me wanting to return and try other cooking classes.
