Andora Webster reviewed: Christmas Baking Workshop Devon

"Purchased as a gift for my mother, unfortunately she was unable to attend due to having the flu a few days prior. I was informed there is a strict 4 week cancellation period, with no option to reschedule or get a refund. I therefore intended to attend myself, however I hadn’t realised that when the date of the initial booking was changed by the organiser the time was changed also. The time was included in a new confirmation email but had never been highlighted as having altered. I was refused a refund or the opportunity to attend another date by Craft Courses. Very disappointed as £60 wasted for genuine reason, the response from Craft Courses lacked goodwill, won’t be using this company again."

Ground Up Cookery School responded:

"Hello Andora, I’m sorry to hear that your mother was unwell and that you were unable to attend the course. When your original requested date was fully booked, an alternative date was offered and confirmed. The course start time was included in the confirmation email at that point and did not change thereafter. On the morning of the course we received a call shortly before the scheduled start time raising questions about the start time, however the details provided in the confirmation remained correct. As outlined clearly at the time of booking, the course is subject to a four-week cancellation policy. At that stage staff are scheduled and ingredients are purchased and prepared in advance, meaning we’re unable to offer refunds or rescheduling at short notice. We appreciate how disappointing it is to miss a course, particularly due to illness, but both the cookery school and Craft Courses acted in line with the booking information provided and the published terms. We hope future customers will understand that this review reflects an unfortunate situation rather than the quality of the experience or the care taken by either small business."

Mrs Emma Fisher reviewed: Advanced Food Preservation Techniques Devon

"Hi there, I recently attended the advanced preserving course. It was excellent, and we did enjoy it. Just a few things, my mum is a bit hard of hearing and did not hear all of it, perhaps if you can ask if people need to be nearer to the front if they are hard of hearing that would be great. Also just felt that we spent a long time on the Miso, and would have loved to have spent more time on pickling and oil... other than that it was really good and we went to lark today and said hello... "

Ground Up Cookery School responded:

"Thank you for your review. We are so pleased that you enjoyed it. If only we had been made aware of your mother's hearing, when we emailed before the course, we could have made sure that you were positioned at the front. If there is anything that she would like to question further, please encourage her to drop us an email. It is a very diverse course and does dive deep into more adventurous preservation techniques, but we do take your feedback on board. "
