Learn to cook at Gordon Ramsay's academies

Gordon has always been passionate about sharing his love of food and the Gordon Ramsay Academy is where this is brought to life, offering guests of all ages and all levels of cooking ability the chance to enjoy fun, relaxed and informative cookery classes.

“The Academies are something I’ve been passionate about for a long time. Not only will we offer guests of all ages and abilities the chance to learn in what I hope will be fun, relaxed and also really informative classes, but there’s also so much potential for more – exciting events, Michelin-starred dining and development opportunities for chefs, home-cooks and anyone who loves food.

The thing about cooking is that you never stop learning. It’s a journey and I can’t wait to share it with you all.”
Gordon Ramsay

BISHOPSGATE, LONDON
Get ready for cooking with a view! Our London Academy, powered by HexClad, features incredible culinary equipment in a professional kitchen on the 58th floor of a London skyscraper. Master Wellingtons, Steak, Pasta and more with our chefs then sit back, and soak up the London skyline...

Michelin-starred chef, global TV star, cookbook author, restauranteur and businessman, Gordon is hugely respected as one of the greatest names in the culinary world. The Academy is founded on Gordon’s vision of making cooking accessible to everyone and he drops by whenever he can, although doesn’t get to host a class very often!

COOK AND DINE: BEEF WELLINGTON MASTERCLASS FOR TWO
Join us as a pair and work together to make your own Beef Wellington from scratch! You’ll then cook this with us at the Academy, serving it up at the end of the class with sides, to dine in style in our sky-high kitchen at 22 Bishopsgate. This class is perfect if you'd like to make Gordon’s showstopping Wellington with your co-chef, without needing to then cook your Wellington at home.

Learn to cook, experience chef-life in a professional kitchen, and enjoy the most incredible city views from the 58th floor of an iconic London skyscraper. Introducing our cooking masterclasses at the Gordon Ramsay Academy, Powered by HexClad.

Our Beef Wellington masterclass is our most popular cooking class for a reason. Who wouldn't want to learn how to make Gordon's signature dish, or to enjoy golden flaky pastry, rich layers of mushroom duxelles, and succulent perfectly cooked beef...?

In our usual Wellington classes, guests take home their uncooked Wellingtons to cook at home, but we understand if you're staying in a hotel, or travelling a long way after the class.

Book as a pair with us and you will make an incredible Beef Wellington, working together to get the ultimate layers and flavour-packed finish - the perfect cooking collaboration between you and you fellow chef. Then have the glory of cooking your Wellington at the end of the class to sit down and eat - half a Wellington each! Plus all the sides and a gloriously rich jus, not to mention a stunning view over London and a few drinks to toast your cooking success.

There's a little saving on the cost as you're cooking as a pair, too.
