The best decision I made to be able to work for myself. Head office make it easier with their support, all the tools you need from class plans, recipe cards and party supplies. You work as and when you like that fits in with you and your life. Every week is varied from term time classes to workshops as well as one off classes with a variety of children. Fantastic support from other franchisees too.Nicola - Cook Stars Thatcham to Hook
