"I loved the ham class and would highly recommend it to all lovers of the pig and aficionados of Spanish food and drink - 10/10"

"Our teacher for the night was Mario, the ham guru, who comes from Southern Spain and knows a huge amount about jamón. [...] The passion he spoke about it with really captured my imagination."

"Are you looking for a unique and different experience while in London? This is as good a place as any to start! I had a blast (as did the other participants) and would highly recommend the class to anyone even curious about experiencing one of the world’s most amazing cured meats in a new and unusual way."
