Frequently asked questions
Can 3-5 year olds attend the cooking school?
Our kids cooking school offers a number of choices for all children to attend class. Adult and child classes are currently the most popular choice for parents who want 3-5 year olds to attend cooking. At our discretion, 5 year olds may attend after school classes and Saturday classes with an older sibling. Please get in touch with our team to discuss further by email at info@greenwichpantry.com
