Papadeli Catering, Deli & Cookery School — Restaurant in Bristol

I attended their cooking school which was an offering of ‘Festive Feast Recommendations’ which was very helpful as I’m hosting a few events over the festive period.

From the ease of booking the class, to the great communication to the very warm welcome by Grace on the evening I was already extremely happy with the high quality customer service and then to go onto have one of the most joyous, fun evenings I can only highly recommend booking one of their classes for yourself.

It was extremely organised and you can only appreciate all the prep that had gone into making the evening run smoothly. Simon & Kirstie were excellent teachers as was the team, so helpful and personable. I didn’t even know Simon was the owner, no ego, so respectful of his team and I just loved his aura and vibe.

The recipes were exceptional and it was so much fun to make and eat. I went by myself but this isn’t an issues far from it, I go to pair up with the lovely Mira and we hit it off immediately, everyone there were so friendly, it was so easy and the atmosphere magical.

There was free flowing drinks, we were looked after very well and we got to take home a lot of food which I had for my lunch the following day, so yummy.

After the class we had time to shop in the deli with a discount which I appreciated as I could purchased a number of items that were used in the class.

I’m already looking to book on in 2024 and highly recommend both their classes and deli which has such a vast range of highly quality goods.

Thank you...

Wow. From arrival to departure, this has got to be one of the best cookery schools I've attended. My wife went on the "Sicilian Deliciousness" the week before and could not find anything to fault. Delicious food, great atmosphere and great teaching. So when I arrived for my "Amazing Tapas" cookery school, I was expecting great things. I was not disappointed. I've waited several years to go on a course and booked three. Simon (Papa) himself took the reins and was joined by Kirstie - a small introduction, some red wine to loosen up with great cheese (Picos Blue to die for)Manchego, Montenbro, before we were hands on stuffing squid with rice and chorizo, and Croquettas with salted cod, Pincho Morunos with marinade, Chicken with quince and saffron, Torta de Aceite, Prawns with chorizo and chickpeas and coriander and many others. At the end you sat down, more wine and ate the spoils, with doggy bags provided. And lets not forget the people behind the scenes, Cheyenne and Grace, clearing away, prepping the next course and topping up the wine and drinks making a smooth operation even smoother. I'm booked onto the Christmas Feast next week and can't wait to attend. Well done Papadeli for an informative and great...

We have just used Papadeli for the 2nd time for our family weddings, both canapes and grand sharing feast. The food is simply sublime, the organisation is 2nd to none and I really don't know how our slightly DIY weddings could have worked without the skilled and affectionate guidance of Lou and all of the team. If there were a higher rating than 5* I would give this to Papadeli across the board for all that they bring to such a special day. Not only their joy of delicious food and finding what is right for the couple on such a momentous day, but the delivery of all that we might need (and haven't thought off) to delight both the tastebuds and sooth the path that any wedding arranging seems to bring in a tangled web of joy and anxiety. Nothing gets forgotten, all is delivered with a smile and wave of a seemingly magic wand. Papadeli takes all the strain out of the preparation and leaves the family and all the guests to simply enjoy the day and eat the best food ever. I am sad that we only have 2 children in need of weddings - but I would absolutely recommend Papadeli and Lou for any event you might be planning. Huge thanks to Lou, the chefs and all...
