Brought as a Christmas present I turned up to Belle’s Thai school not knowing what to expect. The class venue is situated in a pretty part of the Kent countryside and the kitchen itself is nestled in a charming row of cottages next to a traditional pub. Belle and her helper were warm and welcoming as were the other pupils. While preparing the ingredients Belle regaled us with stories of her life and how she got to be standing in front of us today and where she had gained her culinary experience. Then she carefully went through the ingredients making sure everyone could smell, taste and touch the ingredients as well as giving top tips on where to buy quality supplies (actually from the local supermarket!). We would then watch Belle create the dishes before having a go ourself at our individual stoves. The results were amazing! I learnt more about Thai cooking in 3 hours from Belle than I have in 15 years reading recipes! You can chose to eat your food there or take it home to share with family and friends. I have successfully made all the dishes numerous times at home and these are dishes which will last me a lifetime!

I had brought this tour for my partners birthday. We were both a bit sceptical on our journey to the brewery, but we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Jenny our tour guide was charming and informative and was able to answer any questions. We were able to try a selection of beers and ales I would definitely recommend this tour to friends/ family and anyone who enjoys a good beer or ale.
