We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with the incredible team at Jamie Olivers Cookery School in their flagship venue in the heart of Oxford Street!

Split across two vibrant classrooms on the third floor of John Lewis, the spaces have been designed with creativity, connection and memory-making in mind and form the perfect environment for meeting new people.

We’ve worked closely with their experts to pull together a menu exclusively for Haystack guests and designed a bespoke format that combines the opportunity to cook in curated pairs, followed by a group dinner party dynamic. All the fun of a dinner party, everyone single.

Each month we’ll be trialling a new menu and we could not be more excited to be kicking off with a night of Chilli & Chao Shou. Learn the art of pleating, wrapping and cooking authentic Sichuan-style Wontons with a zingy smashed cucumber salad.

Arrive to be greeted by your host for the evening and enjoy your first glass of fizz on us. Then grab yourself an apron and meet your cooking partner. We’ll be using our Haystack matching system to pair up single people with similar interests up and we’ll be swapping partners half way through the class.

After cooking, we’ll head out to the beautiful dining area to enjoy our creations and drinks will be available to pair with dinner.

10pm - the event closes, however for those eager to continue the evening there is of course the option to continue on for some drinks.

Your ticket includes:

- All ingredients, equipment and aprons

- Arrival glass of fizz

- Easy-to-follow demos, led by an expert Jamie Oliver trained teaching chef

- A sit down meal to enjoy your culinary delights around the chef’s table

- A digital recipe pack with everything you need to recreate the magic at home

See you at the chefs table?
