Poorly organised but ok experience overall.

Firstly, the activity did not start off with a choice of drink. The options are listed as either cocktail, mocktail, coconut water, beer, etc. but all we got offered was a tea. Secondly, I chose the menu that I wanted and had arranged it on whatsapp. I chose this course with this organiser because there were specific dishes that I wanted to learn how to make. But, when I got there, they had selected the dishes - which were very limited, not as many as were listed on the activity page and some of them were dishes I didn't want to make. Also, I am vegetarian and they had chicken as one of the dishes. I don't know whether management didn't pass on the menu or what, but it was very disappointing. Also, a note on hygiene - we were only offered a bowl of water to wash our hands - no soap, sanitiser, etc. You make a lot of the dishes with your hands like squeezing coconut and water to make coconut milk. I had stomach issues the next day. Thankfully the experience was ok overall, as the staff who led the class were very friendly, kind and helpful. However, this class needs to be organised better and be listed accurately, rather than getting hopes up to make certain dishes and not being able to. Also, I had to be the one to message on the day to ask if the class was going ahead as I heard nothing from the organiser. My experience was ok, but I don't think this class is worth the amount of money you pay for it and I've been to classes much better arranged than this.

Delicious and down to earth

We loved our experience learning to prepare a variety of dishes using traditional methods. And after cooking we weee able to enjoy our creations and everything we tasted was delicious. The whole experience was one of the best on our time in Sri Lanka.

Badly managed event that turn out alright .

This was meant to be a private cookery course and ended up with 8! The two Australians also booked it as that. Meant to be 950 yrds from hotel ended up with 2-3 miles up mountain roads. Pick up meant to be 4.30pm was 4.45 pm in the pouring rain. We had to keep calling them! Should have had free beer no we had to pay for it! The person who organised this was not the person who we had a problem with re communication during the day def very iffy and he said he did not know who we had booked through! Funny as he had my phone no. 🤔 Then he said we hadn’t paid but we had so he rang the so called stranger. There was def something going on re this event which was not right. Saying all of that it was a good class and fab food. Very sociable .
