Frequently Asked Questions
The kitchen is a short walk from East Finchley station (Northern Line) and is on a number of bus routes. There are parking restrictions during the week and parking is limited, so we actively encourage you to take public transport wherever possible. You can plan your journey using the TFL website, which will give you details of trains and buses to help you plan your journey.

Workshop times vary depending on what we’re making and the group size. Most last approximately 2.5-3.5 hours, although it can be hard to say exactly when workshops will finish. Depending on what you are making, it usually includes time to eat the food you’ve made – after all that cooking you probably deserve a nice meal.
That’s fine. Rachel’s Kitchen can be booked for whenever is convenient for you.
Please let us know if there’s anything we need to be aware of, and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements. We use foods that contain allergens in the kitchen, so unfortunately we are unable to cater to severe food allergies.
Rachel will provide all equipment, so all you need to do is come along and enjoy the class.
Once you have confirmed the date, we will ask you to pay a deposit for group workshops, or the full amount for small group or public workshops. If you need to re-schedule or cancel, we will always do our best to help. If you cancel more than 7 days in advance of the date booked, we will give you a partial refund, or the option to book another date. If you need to cancel in the week before the workshop, the deposit will always be non-refundable, as we will have already bought ingredients and other equipment.
All our lessons include ingredients, recipes and tuition from a professional chef.
It’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting a little messy, as well as flat, comfortable shoes. Rachel will provide aprons, so you don’t need to bring your own.
