 Private
Events
In
addition to our regular schedule of events, Carlow
Cookery is available for private events.
They can be held at the store in our comfortable
demonstration studio or we'll take the class to
you. Our classes are the perfect setting
for neighborhood get-togethers, bachelorette parties,
birthday parties, team-building events or fundraisers.
Our kitchen is a comfortable space that allows
participants to socialize, enjoy the food prepared
and learn more about the art of cooking.
Home parties allow to relax in the comfort of
your kitchen. We bring in all the necessary
supplies and leave a clean space behind.
Below
are some answers to frequently asked questions.
You are welcome to call the store at 215-489-2677
or email us at info@carlowcookery.com
if there are any questions or to book an event..
Think
you might have a group that's interested?
The
process in simple. Start by picking a date.
Our studio is available for classes seven days
a week. As long as we don't have a regularly
schedule event or another private class booked
for the day you choose we'll hold the date while
you confirm the event with your group. Looking
to have us come to the home? Pick and date
and call to confirm availablity. Confirmation
of the event takes place two weeks prior to the
class with full payment due at that time.
What
time do the classes start?
Our
recommended start times are 7 p.m. for our midweek
classes demonstration classes and 6:30 p.m. for
our hands-on classes. Saturday classes begin
between at 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. and Sunday classes
between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Should
I consider a hands-on class or a demonstrations
class?
Which
format to choose is up to your group. Hands-on
classes cater to groups of 12 to 16, demonstration
classes are for groups up to 23.
Hands-on
classes are perfectly suited to off-site team
building events or for smaller groups that enjoy
being involved with the actual cooking.
The menus are designed to encourage working together
and problem solving. The group prepares
the meal based on the recipes provided with instruction
from the chef. The food that is prepared
is eaten at the end of the session.
For
our demonstration classes, participants remain
comfortably seated around the demo kitchen while
the food is prepared by the instructor.
The setting is ideal for larger groups with varied
cooking skills to enjoy each others company and
an evening of food. Generous samples of
the food is served and the recipes are provided.
Both formats include complemenary wine.
How
much are the classes?
Hands-on
classes start at $65 per person and require a
minimum of 12 people (16 maximum). Demonstration
classes start at $45 per person and require a
minimum of 20 people (maximum of 23). There
is a five dollar upcharge for weekend classes
and the prices may vary slightly based on the
topic chosen. Off-site class pricing is
similar but you need to contact the store for
an exact quote.
Are
some topics better than others?
While
all classes are fun and informative, some are
better for larger groups with different tastes.
Hors d'oeuvres, grilling techniques or a full
Italian meal are just some of the most popular
topics for group events. Another good source
for topics is our current schedule. Last
but not least, you are welcome to suggest
a topic and we'll work up a menu. Click
