Jamie’s new cookery school is now open!
May 1, 2025Big news! Our biggest-ever Jamie Oliver Cookery School in John Lewis, Oxford Street is now open!
Get ready to have some fun, while learning to cook up something special in our brilliant new school. With two vibrant classrooms, designed to feel like Jamie’s TV shows, there’s room for everyone.
With over 40 classes ranging from the Punchy Peruvian Ceviche to making Showstopping Ravioli, Vietnamese Street Food, mastering knife skills, the Calzone Made Easy and so much more, our new school will put the fun and the know-how into learning to cook a whole range of delicious cuisines.
Also opening on the third floor of the John Lewis Oxford St store is the new Jamie Oliver Cafe, situated right next to the Cookery School. The new cafe offers tasty treats from coffee and wine to salads and focaccias, as well as a range of sweet options. Cooked fresh on-site by Jamie’s chefs, the dishes will celebrate some of Jamie’s favourite suppliers, including bread from The Dusty Knuckle, meat from HG Walters, sustainable fish from Stickleback and wines from Liberty Wines.
“I'm super excited to be expanding the Jamie Oliver Cookery School, opening our doors so even more people can unleash their inner chef and experience the joy of cooking from scratch. Our new home at John Lewis Oxford Street puts us smack-bang in the heart of the city, with room for 48 guests to have all the fun cooking up delicious food. It's going to be such a buzzing place – I can't wait to see it in action."

About the classes
Every class starts with a complimentary glass of bubbles (or something soft, if you prefer!), before you pull on an apron and get stuck into some seriously good cooking.
With the help of our expert chefs, you’ll learn new skills, taste new flavours and end the session eating unforgettable plates of food with your fellow classmates.
