the nigel brown cookery academy
Nigel holds these exclusive classes in his very own cookery school kitchen so
you can enjoy the pleasure of cooking in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. All
the equipment we use is similar to what you will find in domestic kitchens up
and down the country so whatever you learn you can recreate in your own home. We
limit our class size to a maximum of 8 but mostly only 4 so it doesn’t matter
whether you’re an accomplished cook or can only switch on a kettle, we have the
time to teach everyone some new skills and give you the individual attention you
deserve. customers at the Nigel Brown Cookery AcademyAll our courses, whether it
be a half day session or a full day course with lunch, are fully hands-on and at
the end of the class you can take your dishes to enjoy at home. All courses and
classes are held in Nigel’s kitchen at The Ropewalk in Barton upon Humber.

the Humber Bridge in Barton upon Humber, North Lincolnshire, within a Grade II
listed building known as The Ropewalk. Hall’s Barton Ropery was an international
name of excellence in the shipping and many other industries for 200 years.
Hall’s Ropes made on the Barton site were used on all the major shipping lines
and for the first ascent of Everest. The factory was closed in 1989 and lay
dormant until April 2000 when one fifth of the building was restored and opened
as an arts centre housing 2 galleries, artists workshops, picture framing
business and a Heritage Display. The centre currently attracts in excess of
20,000 visitors per year and is run by The Waterside Artists Co-operative. In
September 2005 the rest of the building was restored and is now home to 12
artist’s studios and 18 units being used for creative industries including
digital, media, design and other related industries including a fantastic coffee
shop and The Nigel Brown Cookery Academy. The Academy is easily accessible by
car, roughly an hours’ drive from Lincoln, Leeds, York and Sheffield with plenty
of free parking. You can also reach us by train or bus, our nearest bus/rail
station is Barton and the academy is a short walk away.
