The Community Kitchen

The Community Kitchen is also available for hire for private classes, parties, events and team building activities (including seasonal specials for Christmas and other holidays). The main teaching area of the kitchen has 7 domestic cookery stations (one for a leader and 6 for participants, with space for people to work around both sides of the U-shaped layout), one of which is height-adjustable/wheelchair accessible. Our kitchen was designed by Claire Potter, an interior architect and award-winning designer who specialises in sustainable design to ensure we reduce our environmental impact. The kitchen includes a balance of quality, new kitchen equipment alongside recycled and reused materials. The design prioritises accessibility and flexibility – from specialist accessible cookery equipment to adaptable areas for dining and food preparation. Capacity Typically 12-20 participants cooking, depending on the activity. We can accommodate up to 40 people standing. Our capacity may be reduced due to Covid-19 safety measures but exact figures depend on the type of activity and how many households are attending the event. Please contact us to discuss. Travel links The Kitchen is located on the corner of the Community Base building on Queens Road, only a short walk from the station and plenty of bus routes. To access, please press the buzzer located by the door to be let in by our team.
