ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS:
Class size depends on numbers booking. While we prefer to run classes with groups no larger than 6, on occasion it can be useful have a larger group in which case we use a bigger kitchen workspace and group size may be up to 16. Workshops are generally gluten-free. Please let us know in advance if you have any food allergies that we need to take into account. It is our policy to use as much local, organic produce as possible. Kitchen work by its nature involves sharp objects, heat and other potential sources of injury. Whilst all care is taken to ensure the wellbeing of workshop participants, all persons undertaking Otis Beanery classes do so at their own risk.
