The service is absolutely brilliant. My son has absolutely loved it. Excellent quality ingredients, brilliant tutorial videos and excellent recipe cards

Latest box was the tomahawk steak with salad & the naughtiest sticky toffee pudding we've ever had - green salad items and dressing for potatoes held their own magnificently with the steak, an absolute joy from beginning to end

We have such fun with Banquist and have definitely improved our cooking skills. Theo Randall's Pasta course was especially good - improving our skills a little each time. Highly recommend. Kept us sane during lockdown and now keep us wantng more.

I did a 4 weeks Pasta Master Class with Theo Randall. It was absolutely amazing!! Really enjoyed every week course. The delivery was well organised, both recipe cards and cooking video tutorials from Theo were well described and explained everything really well. I have picked up some great tips and now able to make different kind of pasta with confident!! Thank you so much to al the Banquist team including Jonny and Theo as wel 😊

My daughter (age 12) has absolutely loved the children’s cooking course. A box of ingredients is delivered once a week and she follows along a video lesson. The meals have been delicious, lessons are interesting and informative as well as giving excellent step by step cooking instructions. Would highly recommend if you have a little chef in your world.

Excellent really enjoyed the Theo Randall pasta masterclass, was excellent, high quality ingredients and excellent correspondence on the course, can't ait for Indian fusion with Atul

We have been doing Banquist boxes since October 2020 having at least one box a month, sometimes two. It started off with just me cooking but now my husband is just as involved as I am. It’s bought us even more together as a team. My favourites so far have been Alex Bond’s Sea trout ceviche, Jeremy Chang’s cote de boeuf, Mike Robinsons Deer Pave, Theo Randall Lemon Tart and Gareth Wards tomahawk steak. I’ve signed up for 2 of the 4 week cookery courses and can hardly wait.

I've had 5 boxes from Banquist now and I've really enjoyed them. The range of menus is really interesting and I've genuinely learnt some techniques which I'll always be able to use now - invaluable. The customer service is 2nd to none and the quality of ingredients has been exceptional. I think my favourite has to be the Mike Robinson box but the Gareth Ward tomahawk steak was exceptional. Highly recommend!

Absolutely love Banquist and couldn't recommend them enough for those who are looking for a bit more than just a "warm up at home" food experience. Most of the Banquist meals are 3 courses and are designed by some of the UKs top chefs. They are "prepare and cook at home" boxes that include all of the raw ingredients you need and a link to a detailed YouTube video cooking lesson from the chef. So many of the meal kits you find on the market these days, even from good restaurants, are of uneven quality. Banquist always deliver top quality produce/ingredients, matching wines, and clear printed and video instructions/lessons. Even the delivery company is top notch, always delivering in the 1-2 hr time slot they promise on the morning of delivery. This company really looks after the details for a great experience.

We’ve had a few items from Banquist, the New Years Eve one being the first, a fantastic package that kept us entertained on what would have otherwise been a very quiet lockdown new year.

Our latest one was the 4 week pasta course from Banquist and Theo Randall. Absolutely fantastic. I have learned so many new techniques (as well as some fantastic recipes) I feel like I’m able to produce restaurant quality pasta (I’m sure Theo Randall has substantially higher standards than I do, but at least I FEEL like I can do it)

Cannot fault Banquist in any way, superb quality, good value for money, excellent customer service and as an extra touch a WhatsApp community to discuss and share ideas with. Superb. Highly recommended.

I absolutely love these guys 🤩

I’ve done a couple of the courses, most recently the pasta course with Theo Randall & have had a seriously fun time! I’ve gained confidence, learnt new tips & recipes & have had lovely convos with some of the other people doing the course. Always well organised, well thought out & genuinely great to take part in. Thanks to the whole team.. look forward to the next one!

Have ordered quite a few boxes from banquist and recently did the pasta master course. Have absolutely loved each box. As a food lover who has no idea how to cook fancy stuff, banquist is so great. The pasta course was so fun, really felt like id learnt a new skill, food and ingredients were banging, and i even grew fond of the banquistadors on whatsapp...and who looks a group whatsapp?! But was actually really fun to see everyones dishes and share the fun

Loved the recent pasta course. Learnt new things each week and all the dishes were soo tasty. Good tricks up my sleeve for dinner parties now. Little touches made it excellent - choccies, extra of ingredients, high quality of all the ingredients.

My partner and I treated this as our date night each week for a month, a time to switch off from work and focus together on a recipe. We really loved it and definitely intend to keep going with it. It's hard at first but after the first couple of times you really do start to get a feel for how the pasta should look and feel when you're making it right. By the fourth recipe we were making the pasta from memory and only needed the video for shaping/ filling.

You need a little patience as these things do take time but if you love to cook and want a fun date activity I would definitely recommend this course! The ingredients were really high quality and other than the pasta machine, you don't need a great deal of kit as you do with some cooking courses.

Really worthwhile pasta course. Educational video spot on. Ingredients were excellent. The pasta dishes (cooked by me from scratch!) were delicious. Really, really looking forward to the next course. The community spirit within the pasta WhatsApp group is wonderful. My confidence making pasta, fillings and sauces has grown a lot throughout the course.
I cannot fault the communication Banquist.

We've done a number of individual Banquist sessions, as well as the 4-week pasta masterclass with Theo Randall. They've all been a great value for the money, resulting in a delicious meal as well as both of us learning a few new tricks in the kitchen. We've also added a few new recipes to our repertoire, and are planning to make our own pasta a lot more in the future!

I have bought a few boxes from Banquist over the last year and each one has been incredible.

However I have just completed the first course they offered, it was a 4 week pasta course weekly with Theo Randall as our teacher, and it was just sensational, amazing ingredients, amazing recipes, amazing wine and superb instruction from Theo and support from Jonny the owner of Banquist.

I highly, highly recommend Banquist, it’s an experience, an education a delight….

I received a Banquist voucher for Christmas and opted for a 4 week course to hone my pasta skills. I could already make and cook pasta but I was hoping to learn a few new tricks to add to my repertoire. I can safely say that I came away from the 4 week course very confident with pasta and also with some excellent new recipes. You have to be prepared to work for your dinner but the effort was rewarded with really delicious dishes that I will be cooking again and again.

The overall support and communication with the guys was first class and the ingredients were on point.

All in all, I would say that for anyone with a passion for home cooking (and eating) Banquist is thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny.

Bon Appetite!

The Banquist team have come up with a fantastic concept, which my wife and I have been following from the early days. There are so many ‘dine’ at home concepts that have been born out of necessity during the pandemic, and fair play to them. But Banquist is different: it’s ‘cook’ at home. It’s truly rewarding to take raw ingredients and, with some of the top UK chef’s instruction, turn them into amazing dishes that you’re astonished you could achieve. Hats off as well to Banquist’s exceptional customer service; they’re a great team eager to evolve and we will certainly be continuing to grow our culinary skills with their help.

I’m currently doing the Banquist on-line Pasta course with Theo Randall and I’ve got to say I’m so impressed!! To date I’ve just done the first week and it was fantastic - the ingredients were of the highest quality and the cook along video with Theo was great. I learned so many new tips and tricks. I can’t wait until Thursday for the next instalment of yummy pasta goodness! I definitely recommend Banquist - Jonny Inglis a 10/10 from me! Oh meant to mention the customer service is incredible and the WhatsApp group set up with my fellow pasta makers is such a useful tool to keep a check on how others are doing.
