What happens on the day?
Topsail has joined up with Giancarlo and Katie Caldesi, who run Caffe Caldesi, Caldesi Restaurant and their Italian Cookery School La Cucina Caldesi. They have a wealth of experience along with Giancarlo’s passion for his native Tuscany.

This event can be a full or half day, and tailored to your requirements – we have many options and are always open to ideas and suggestions to make your event memorable. The day can be a straightforward lesson or can be a team building session with blind tasting – and always with an element of fun! Options include a hands-on Pastamaking Masterclass with Giancarlo Caldesi (guests will be taught how to make pasta from scratch; they will roll, cut and stuff it and learn which sauces suit which shapes of pasta), anti pasti, or fish & seafood to tie in with the nautical theme.

Guests board one of our beautiful barges at a pier in the city, cruising east, with the finale of the day being Tower Bridge opening just for the group. Welcomed onboard with a reception drink, guests will soak in the sights of London from the river before heading down into the saloon for a day of creative cooking, ending with a delicious meal guests have helped to produce. The event can also be held static at the quayside in stunning St Katharine Docks.

Please note this event is for private/corporate charters and not for individuals. Prices start from £88 + VAT per head, based on 40 guests for a 4-hour event static at the quayside in St Katharine Docks.
