Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know Before Your Visit

  • We’ve got you covered. For most classes, you don’t need to bring a thing – we provide all the equipment, ingredients, utensils, aprons, recipe handouts, and even pens for jotting down your own notes or tips. All we ask is that you wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, as you’ll be on your feet and working in the kitchen.

    For classes with an outdoor element – such as Catch & Cook – we recommend checking the weather in advance and bringing along some essentials: a warm layer, waterproof jacket, suncream, and perhaps a hat. If you like to keep hydrated throughout the day, a reusable water bottle is always handy (although we do provide drinking water on site too).

  • None at all! All of our classes are designed to be fun, engaging, and accessible to everyone – whether you’re taking your very first steps in the kitchen or you’ve been cooking for years. We pride ourselves on creating a relaxed and welcoming learning environment where there’s no pressure and plenty of room to learn at your own pace.

    Our chefs are experienced instructors who will guide you through each step, explain techniques clearly, and offer one-on-one support whenever needed. So whether you’re looking to sharpen your skills, try something new, or simply enjoy a great day out, you’re in the right place.

  • In most cases, yes – and we’ll always do our best to make sure every guest has a great experience. We regularly accommodate common dietary needs including gluten-free, coeliac, vegetarian, vegan, and nut-free options, as well as other allergies or preferences.

    If you have specific requirements, please get in touch with us before booking to confirm that your selected course can be adapted accordingly. While we can’t guarantee an allergen-free environment, we do take care to avoid cross-contamination where required and ensure all guests feel safe and included.

  • We understand that sometimes plans change, and we aim to be as flexible as possible. Our cancellation terms are as follows:

    • More than 14 days’ notice: You may defer your booking to another course date at no extra cost.
    • 14 days to 48 hours’ notice: You can defer your booking, but a €50 administration fee applies per attendee.
    • Less than 48 hours’ notice: Unfortunately, refunds or deferrals are not possible at this stage, as all ingredients and preparation will have been finalised. However, you’re very welcome to send someone else in your place, provided they’re aged 18 or over.

    All cancellation or deferral requests must be made in writing via email to [email protected]

  • We’re located just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Dingle town, in a beautiful spot right beside the harbour. Our Eircode is V92 EE04, which you can pop into Google Maps or your GPS.

    If you’re walking from town, head in the direction of the Aquarium (Dingle Oceanworld). You’ll pass the large SuperValu car park on your left – we’re just past that, in a yellow building with a sign for Dingle Cookery School out front. It’s easy to find, and you’ll get a lovely sea breeze on your way!

  • Yes – there’s plenty of free parking available right beside the Cookery School. The large public car park adjacent to the school has ample space, so whether you’re arriving by car or travelling with others, you’ll have no trouble finding a spot nearby.

    If you’re attending as part of a group or event, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to give yourself time to get settled in and ready to start your experience on time.

Fun, informative & delicious experience

Spent 5 hours at this school on a rainy Irish day. I heard a very interesting history of Irish food then was treated to several hours of hands on training learning to make Dingle Pies, Brown Bread, Apple pie. I know quite a bit about food preparation but still learned different things and thoroughly enjoyed the class. We consumed all the delicioius food we made as a group (9 of us). Recipes of everything made were handed out at the end of class.

A perfect package

We went for a day of traditional Irish cooking. The only way it could have been better is if we’d been there for a Catch of the Day school to be able to take advantage of whatever came into Dingle Harbor. The site is perfect, comfortable, roomy, well-equipped. The lessons were thorough and delicious, and included a lovely, concise history of Irish cuisine. I hope to get back for that Catch of the Day version.

Excellent class all around

There were 23 of us attending a multi course cooking adventure focusing on Irish traditional fare: a fish starter, followed by a flavorful beef stew and apple cake. Our group members learned great cooking tips from Mark Murphy: a very knowledgeable and passionate chef. What a great way to spend a rainy afternoon in Dingle! We will be back next year. Thank you Mark, MuireAnn and Caroline for your guidance, expertise and kindness.
