The original Jamie Oliver Cookery School was opened in 2016 and is located at the chef’s headquarters in North London.
Ed Loftus, group director of Jamie Oliver Group, said: “This is the next step in the footprint of Jamie Oliver Cookery School in the United Kingdom and internationally.
“Jamie Oliver’s headquarters in the North London school has seen incredible growth since it was opened for the first time and even more important, we will still receive incredible positive feedback from our customers. To see that the points of our emotion constantly bring me perfect joy.”
