Getting Cooking Classes Right

Roving Larder Cooking School sits at 2 Gunner Road, among the heritage buildings of the North Head Sanctuary on Manly's headland. Founder Marie Clément grew up in France and worked through patisserie, fine dining and food education, and that French character shows in both the menus and the dining room.

How a private group's visit unfolds:

  • Arriving to a welcome drink
  • Pairs working side by side at the big central island, a chef guiding each course
  • Three courses finished in roughly two hours
  • Sitting down together for about an hour to eat, wine poured
  • Leaving the dishes behind, because the team takes care of the clean-up

Groups of 8 to 30 have the school to themselves, from $169 per person. No kitchen experience is needed, which makes it an easy pick for a birthday or team outing where some guests have never cooked much.

Answers to Common Cooking Class Questions

Can a Manly cooking class be booked for a birthday?

Yes. Groups from 8 up to 30 book the whole of Roving Larder, make three courses together and then share them at the table.

How long does the Cook & Dine take?

Roughly three hours: about two cooking with the chef, then around an hour eating.

Is there a shorter option for a work team?

Cook & Connect takes two hours, with the group cooking the main course while the chef supplies an entrée or dessert.

Does Roving Larder run public classes as well?

Yes. Outside private bookings there are public classes and themed dinners, plus cooking days for teenagers during the school holidays.
