We celebrated my twins 16th birthday (at their request) at Roving Larder cooking school. Our family (including a 17 year old) had the BEST time connecting and cooking together. Such a lovely way to spend the milestone birthday together instead of the usual dinner celebration. To say Marie is an amazing host is an understatement, she accommodated any request I had and made the day extra special for all. BTW the food is AMAZING, plentiful and the quality is restaurant style, even though we made it! If you are wondering if this is worth the price, i'd say its worth every cent.

Marie made our evening absolutely magical! She designed a creative three-course menu for adults and a fun, thoughtful menu for the kids, along with welcome drinks featuring rosemary coulis, every detail was beautifully imagined. The food was not only delicious but also artfully presented, and our guests were genuinely impressed by her creativity and attention to detail. The service was seamless, making the whole evening effortless and joyful. Highly recommend for any special occasion!

We went to the teen Italian class and it was the best class we’ve ever been too! The class was so much fun! We learned a lot of great recipes and all the little tips and tricks to mastering them. Marie was a fantastic, enthusiastic chef and a very helpful and encouraging instructor. You are provided with everything you need and are sent with very detailed recipes as well. Definitely one of the best Christmas presents we received and would highly recommend to other to try it out!

We went to Roving Larder for our office xmas party and it was brilliant! Really fun way to connect with your colleagues in a beautiful space and relaxed atmosphere. We had a charcuterie board and welcome drinks on arrival, and the staff were amazing throughout. The tutorial from Marie was delivered in a clear and engaging way, keeping everyone on track! At the end we were able to eat our delicious creations (arancini, gnocchi and tiramisu) and toast a glass together! Would highly recommend :)

I celebrated my birthday with a Roving Larder private “cook and dine” event with a group of friends. A fabulous evening was had by everyone – much merriment during the cooking class and we thoroughly enjoyed our delicious meal in a beautiful dining setting. It was like having my own private dinner party! Marie and Anton looked after every detail, including a fabulous birthday cake baked by Marie. Nothing was too much trouble. I thoroughly recommend having an "event" with friends at the Roving Larder. It was such a memorable way to mark a celebratory occasion for me!

We came up and did a Morrocan Feast and cannot say enough about how well the class was run. Marie is an exceptional host and the food was out of this world. I have gained confidence with the instructions and look forward to replicating these dishes at home for the family to enjoy. Looking forward to doing another night at the Roving Larder.
Thank you Marie

Roving Larder hosted our business for a 3 course cooking experience which was absolutely amazing. The food was restaurant class (if not better), instructions/guidance was super engaging and easy to follow, and the staff were delightful. Highly recommend, in particular for group events.

What an enjoyable Sunday!
Sharing a morning with my girlfriends making gingerbread houses was so much fun. Thank you Marie for creating such a beautiful Christmassy space, full of goodies for us to come and “play”. Like you said it would, the time passed too quickly!

My friends and I absolutely loved the Christmas Gingerbread house making workshop at Roving Larder Manly. We felt like we were in a Christmas movie with beautiful decorations everywhere. Marie was so helpful and provided us with ideas and all the ingredients we needed to make our Gingerbread masterpieces. I would recommend it highly and will be going back again.

I attended the croquembouche cooking class with Marie.
Marie is very knowledgeable, professional and with an easy manner which makes learning about making this French classic a breeze.
The class was attended by a lovely group of people of all ages, and we all ended up thrilled we could actually make this tower of choux pastry with fillings like one usually found in an exclusive patisserie.
Thankyou so much Marie for imparting your knowledge, skill and guidance to help me conquer the croquembouche!
We will be back for another class in a French classic soon.
Many thanks

If you’re looking for a fun relaxed night out then Chef Marie and Anton were the perfect hosts at Roving Larder for a fantastic “cook and dine” experience in a beautiful room setting !
Had such a fab night with group of foodie friends - learning from experienced chef Marie and cooking with “state of the art” facilities (modern “rangehood” was very cool !)
Antone looked after us throughout the night with drinks & any questions we had :)
We did the seafood course - 3 dishes:
oven baked Snapper En Papillote, yummy mussels finished in a delicious broth/sauce and Greek salad. Also shared her tips to make a fragrant fish stock. Finished the night with a lovely cheese/fruit platter over great food and conversation !
Highlights:
- Perfect for beginners/intermediate home cooks with seafood dishes that I can replicate easily at home, with handy recipe booklet to keep.
- Marie’s shared many cooking techniques/tips for quick preparation seafood confidently at home
Highly recommended ! We’ll definitely be back, huge thank you Marie and Anton for a wonderful food experience!

Thank-you Chef Marie and Anton for your wonderful hospitality and informative cooking lesson. The cooking school was a fun way for us (7 ladies) to learn in a beautiful venue. We took the Seafood Essentials course where we learned how to make a fish broth, moules marinières, and baked a whole snapper. I highly recommend this course and look forward to attending more classes.

I went to Roving Larder with a big bunch of people and we all had a great time and we were really impressed with the food and the experience overall.
It was great to learn how to make new meals/desserts and to also learn new cooking skills to take home to the kitchen.
I would highly recommend!
