Margate Cookery School

About Margate Cookery School

Margate Cookery School is run by Margate Old Town restauranteurs Kate, Harry and Simona. The school offers fun and accessible food and drink classes in the heart of Margate. We showcase the wealth of culinary talent right here in Thanet, so as well as ourselves, expect to see lots of the other brilliant local chefs, foragers, bakers and barmen on our class schedule. As proud as we are of the burgeoning food scene here in Thanet, we also host classes from people we admire wherever they hail from.
