Station House Cookery School

Amazing day at Station House Cookery School, Nike is a really nice guy and a great teacher and cook. Will definitely go back.

Recently attended a cooking demo, hosted by Tony Budde, learned a lot!Wonderful kitchen, wonderful equipment, wonderful, informed, passionate, friendly staff; so, just what this area needs!Will be back for food!

I’m a keen cook and really enjoyed my day at the cook school. Nick is a great teacher, informative & entertaining. What an amount of food I came away with! I forgot my aubergine but improvised & turned my flat bread dough into a pizza.

The day-long bread course was tremendous, packed with information and tips and culminated in leaving with a couple of my own handmade loaves. Highly enjoyable and recommended.

We use the cookery school to provide our young trainee kitchen assistant with external cookery training. Our employee really enjoys attending his courses and it builds his confidence with his cooking skills and knowledge. Nick offers advice on how he can improve his cooking methods and this week he returned with knowledge on how to improve our pizza dough. We have tested out Nicks method and it has helped us develop a firmer crisper pizza base so our customers can now enjoy even better pizza's at Nikos in Castle Douglas. Thank you Nick for all the support you provide our young employee, you are offering him much encouragement to want to become a chef in the future and he always returns motivated and keen to improve the foods we offer.

Enjoyed a half day pasta making class with my 9 year old son. A great experience. We both learned lots and my son thoroughly enjoyed it. He was so delighted to bring home his dishes and let everyone taste the food he had produced. I would recommend the Kids study for free" family class as a great day's entertainment during school half terms or holidays. We are already on the look out for our next culinary class to share together at Station House."

Wow, just spent a completely amazing day at Station House Cookery School, Nick is a great tutor who completely exceeded our expectations, and helped us create some amazing pastries, breads and much more - picked up some great tips and learning which I can't wait to put to use - very informative, practical day and I'm already looking forward to our next day. Highly recommended. Thanks Nick & Team

This is our second visit to The Station House Cook School, and we were not disappointed. Nick was, as ever a most hospitable and knowledgeable host, and we thoroughly enjoyed the Middle Eastern cooking experience. For those who can’t cook, won’t cook or those with a passion to cook, and a keenness to learn more about the science and processes of cooking, then this is the place to come to. A great day, and would recommend to all, those who can cook, and those who can’t. It is something for everyone. Many thanks, Nick, and hope to see you again…..

Amazing place.! I brought my very large dog around the time they were closing on a Saturday. The food was so very good: sweet potato pie with salad and potatoes and a decadent hot chocolate. Food was big enough for dinner although a lunch portion. Staff were really friendly and gave my dog a homemade dog biscuit. Decor was great, everything was clean. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant day out. Relaxed, informative, fun AND delicious food! Thanks Nick.
