Kiddies Cooking Class
9 MAY 2026
Our ever-popular Kiddies Cooking Class is back this month!
Join our chefs in a real chef’s kitchen for a fun, hands-on cooking adventure. In celebration of the inaugural Chicken Run in support of Ruby Havens, our young chefs will be learning how to make tasty, free-range, chicken wings from Red Barn Farm – crispy, sticky, and absolutely delicious!
Since 2009, Red Barn has been doing things differently. What started as a small free-range chicken farm near George Airport has grown into the Garden Route’s most trusted source for ethically farmed, free-range and organic food
And for the ultimate sweet treat… the kids will bake their very own Cinnabuns – warm, fluffy and dripping with icing.
It’s a morning of creativity, learning, and laughter in the kitchen.
Join us and let’s help all our children flourish.
Price: R450
Time: 09:00 – 14:00

With guidance from our chefs, you’ll learn step-by-step how to prepare a delicious Slider Casserole—a fun, comforting dish that could become a new family favourite. To end on a sweet note, you’ll bake a mouth-watering Berry Crumble using the strawberries you picked together.
It’s the perfect way to laugh, learn, cook, and celebrate the special bond between moms and their children.
