CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY POLICY
I took my mum to The Cookery School’s half day baking class, taught by Chef Luke. We had the most amazing time, I’m so surprised at how much we were able to fit into the 3 hours; Bagels, Macarons and Choux Pasty.
Luke made everyone feel at ease, he has such a great energy and his ability to teach complex information in such a simple way, is truly impressive – thank you so much!
We will definitely be coming again!
What an amazing experience! Luke was the most fabulous teacher and chef! Very welcoming, friendly, made us feel so at ease and made the whole morning fun & enjoyable. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.
The course couldn’t have been much better. Marc was a really knowledgeable and friendly teacher. You can learn a lot more than just how to make fresh pasta and focaccia, the course also teaches a lot of useful tricks to help with whatever you’re cooking. I highly recommend taking at least one course here.
Food, fun, fantastic tutor, no washing up! What more can you ask for. A great way to experience top quality cooking that you can replicate at home.
Fantastic experience. The chef was fantastic, helpful and fun. Learned loads and enjoyed every second. Would recommend to anyone. Will be back in the near future. Thank you
I wanted to pass on a huge thank you for an amazing Christening!
The Chairman’s Suite was a wonderful room for us all. The food was fantastic. Everyone even loved the playlist that was on!
My mam was very impressed by getting greeted at the door and having someone help her with the bags she had and help with the parking. I work in the luxury hotel industry myself and I don’t think my family really understand my love for a good hotel… until now haha! I had people asking me how much it is to stay overnight!
Please pass on a big thank you also to Chris who was looking after us for the afternoon and the other members of staff who were working.
Until the next baby…
Just wanted to say that the whole York experience was amazing and the hotel was perfect in every way. My execs and our guests were blown away by how well everything went and how accommodating your staff were throughout. Special thanks to Nigel for his Ghost Tour, a definite highlight.
As a matter of fact, my VP of HR wants to bring her team to your hotel in December for their Christmas get together…
Thank you ever so much for your help over the past few months working with me to organise our event – it was a very successful event and I have had great feedback from my colleagues
Just want to say thank you so much for today we have had the best day.
The staff in the cookery school wow what can I say absolutely outstanding polite friendly and all over 5* service
