Event Details & Frequently Asked Questions

Minimum Guest Requirements

Private events are available for groups of varying sizes depending on the day and time selected.

  • Weekend afternoon & evening events (Friday–Sunday): 10 guest minimum
  • Weekday daytime & evening events: 10 guest minimum
  • Weekend luncheon events (11:00am–1:30pm): 10 guest minimum

Weekend events are priced as full private buyouts, as many weekend classes sell out well in advance.

Smaller groups are welcome to attend based on the stated minimums. If your group does not meet the required minimum, joining one of our public classes may be a great alternative option.

Event Timing

Private cooking experiences typically run approximately 3 hours.

Suggested start times are generally:

  • 11:00am
  • 3:00pm
  • 6:00pm or 7:00pm

Because your event is fully private, your group will have exclusive use of the class experience during your reservation time.

Additional time beyond 3 hours may be accommodated at a rate of $100 per half hour.

Beverage Service

Beer, wine, sake, cider, hard seltzers, soda, iced tea, and other beverages are available for purchase at all four locations.

A dedicated Class Concierge will assist with beverage service throughout your event.

Please note:

  • Beverages are not included in class pricing
  • Cash bar or single-tab options are available
  • Bottled water is complimentary
  • Outside alcohol or BYOB is not permitted
  • Beverage menus are available upon request
Parking Information

Parking availability varies by location.

Huntington, Mineola & Patchogue

Metered street parking and nearby municipal lots are available.

Age Restrictions

Guests aged 13 and older may attend private events when accompanied by participating adults.

Please note:

  • A 1 adult to 3 teen ratio is required
  • We do not host teen-only or children’s parties
  • All attendees participate in the cooking experience together

We are happy to recommend alternative venues better suited for children or teen-focused events.

However:

  • Celebration cakes and desserts may be allowed upon request
  • No plating or slicing fees apply
  • Balloons, flowers, and light decorations are welcome within reason

Please note that decorations and event materials are not provided by The Cook’s Studio.
