Did you know that we moved the Cookery School over into a brand new social enterprise called Nourish Food School
…
We’d love you to follow the new page and Business as we start to close down this page.

Just a little reminder that our cookery school now lives over at Nourish Food School and our Men's Pie Club programme can be found at Men's Pie Club North East

Enjoy!!

Here at we’ll be focusing on making sure Men's Pie Club North East and Food Newcastle go from strength to strength
