Coronavirus Safety Measures
Maria is not only a trained cookery teacher but a qualified Environmental Health Officer with a wealth of experience and background in food and premises safety. Aj was trained to the highest possible standard at Leiths School of Food and Wine in London before spending 5 years working as a leading Chef for Rick Stein at his prestigious Seafood Restaurant in Padstow.
We hope this helps to reassure our customers that our safety measures go above and beyond what is expected to ensure we keep everyone as safe as possible.
