We are located at Warehouse 1, 239 Fitzgerald Street, West Perth, opposite the Robertson Park tennis courts. There’s plenty of parking in the public car park at the rear of the building, which can be accessed from Lawley Street.

How long do classes run for?

Standard classes run for around 3.5 hours. There are a few special classes scheduled through the year that run a little longer or shorter than this. The kids classes run for 3 hours, and the Get Your French On and Beer X Food classes each run for 4 hours. Though we do endeavour to ensure our classes finish on time, because the nature of cooking and eating, we ask that you leave 20 minutes leeway for post class commitments, to avoid missing out on that last mouthful of dessert or having to cut short a goodbye to your new found friends.

How many participants are there in each class?

There are 14 participants in each general public hands-on class. This does not include special classes, corporate or private events.

Do you provide recipes to take home?

Yes, we most certainly do.

Do I need to bring anything to a class?

All equipment and ingredients for each class are provided. There is no need for you to bring anything other than a personal apron and some BYO beverages, if you are so inclined.

Can I BYO Alcohol?

Our classes are BYO! Which means that you can bring along your special beverage of choice to enjoy with your meal. For safety reasons, we do ask that any drinking during preparation be kept to a maximum of 2 standard drinks – basically if you can’t drive, its probably not a good idea to use a knife.

Do I need to eat before class?

Food serving times in the classes will vary depending on each class menu. Generally food is served later in the session so if you think you might get a little peckish, we suggest a light snack before hand.

Can I take food home with me?

All dishes cooked during class are also enjoyed during class. Salt & Company does not have a ‘take away’ food license, therefore all food must be consumed on premise.

Can I bring a camera to the class?

Most definitely you are welcome to bring a camera, however video is not permitted. We request that you use discretion and consider other participants’ privacy if taking photographs.

Can I bring a friend to watch?

Sorry but we cannot accommodate this. Only confirmed guests that have paid for a place in a class may attend. You are most welcome to come with a friend, partner or friends, however they will need to register and pay for their place in the class.

What do I wear to a cooking class?

Salt & Company’s health and safety obligations require that all participants wear closed in, flat shoes and appropriate clothing, with long hair tied back neatly. We reserve the right to refuse participation to anyone who wears high-heeled shoes, or fails to wear closed shoes or appropriate clothing. Should we exercise this right, excluded participants will not be entitled to a refund, transfer or voucher.

I am under 18. Can I attend a class?

If you are 16 or older, you are welcome to attend a regular adult class. However Photo ID may be requested at the start of the night, and participants under the age of 18 will not be permitted to consume alcohol.

Do I need to be of a certain skill level to attend a class?

Not at all, our classes have been designed and our teachers trained, to accommodate participants of all skill levels and cooking backgrounds, plus you will have plenty of friendly teammates. So no pressure, just relax and remember to ask plenty of questions if you are ever unsure; that is exactly what we are there for!

Can I add my name to a waiting list if a class is sold out?

If a scheduled class is sold out, an option to go on the waitlist appears in the text-box stating ‘WAIT LIST’ where you would normally click book. Click that link then follow the prompts to pop yourself on the waitlist.
