It’s always been said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, it’s 2023, and we think we can all agree that it’s not that gender-specific. We all love to be treated to a little something special, especially if it’s something tasty too.
So if you’re looking to metaphorically make your way through each other’s stomachs, Stir Crazy Cooking School has the ideal date night for you: a hands-on dining experience where you spoil each other’s taste buds with a range of fantastic foods, made with love.
The evening begins with a complimentary welcome drink to get the party started before the couples head to the kitchen to prepare a dish with their partners.
Now that the mood is set and the aprons are on, couples can choose a selection of meals ranging from starters, mains and desserts, which they will then prepare under the guidance of professional chefs and surrounded by fellow lovebirds.
Once the food is prepared, the dishes will be beautifully plated and served at your very own candlelit table, where you and your partner can indulge in the fruits of your kitchen labours and teamwork.
Did we mention that the venue will have a full bar where you can buy the perfect drink to go with your dish?
