Leiths School of Food and Wine was established to provide professional training for career cooks and short courses for amateur cooks. The School provides comprehensive theoretical and practical teaching in cooking, qualifying students to enter the highly competitive food and wine business and begin a rewarding cookery career. There is a commitment to classical cooking techniques, but with a fresh, modern approach.

The UK based cookery school occupies freehold premises on four floors of a modern building on Wendell Road. It has four custom-designed kitchens, allowing space for 96 full-time students. Three of the kitchens are occupied by the students and the fourth is used for recipe development, corporate cooking courses, private bookings, short cookery courses and filming.

The kitchens are all equipped with gas ovens and hobs of the same design and high standard that most professional restaurant and catering kitchens use.

There is a fully-equipped demonstration kitchen with closed-circuit television, so that students can see what is happening at every cooking stage.

Students have access to a library of cookery books and food and wine magazines, a student dining room, good changing facilities, Wi-Fi connection and access to a computer.
