Jamie Oliver to launch flagship Cookery School and Café at London department store

Jamie Oliver is set to open a flagship Jamie Oliver Cookery School and Café at the John Lewis & Partners department store on London’s Oxford Street next spring.

The upcoming 4,600 sq ft Cookery School will host more than 40 classes across a range of dishes, such as ‘Punchy Peruvian Ceviche’, ‘Showstopping Ravioli’ and ‘Vietnamese Street Food’.

There will be two classrooms, each with capacity for up to 24 guests, complete with a demonstration kitchen and event space that can also be hired for corporate gatherings.

An on-site 50-cover café will serve a range of menu items supplied by the likes of HG Walter, Dusty Knuckle Bakery, Stickleback, Liberty Wines and New Ground Coffee.

Kevin Styles, chief executive of Jamie Oliver Group, said: “I’m delighted to partner with John Lewis to bring our unique Cookery School to life in a flagship location in Central London. 

“This is the next step in growing the footprint of the Jamie Oliver Cookery School across the UK and internationally and central to making Jamie’s stripped back, chef-inspired food accessible to everyone.” 

The first Jamie Oliver Cookery School launched in 2016 and is based in north London.

Jamie Oliver made his UK restaurant comeback late last year with the launch of Jamie Oliver Catherine Street in London’s Covent Garden.
