My partner and I had a good time learning how to make pizzas. The staff we're very nice and friendly. The kitchen was clean and well organised. We had an abundance of ingredients to choose from and the final product turned out great. We ended up making a few pizzas in the process which was great practice. We learnt a lot and thanks for the extra tips. Thanks for having us we can't wait to apply what we've learnt at home :)

The course was good! On the whole, I really enjoyed it and thought it was a great experience. The teacher was a bit all over the place and some participants looked like they needed help. However, it was a good opportunity for us to help each other. I would definitely recommend others do the course, and I will likely end up doing more courses as well.
