Fantastic place to do a cooking class! Fun, hands on and yummy lunch at the end! Thanks Katrina and all the staff
Had the best time today in the Italian Cooking class. Katrina was amazing, so helpful and made everything so easy. The food was incredible. Can’t wait to try out the recipes at at home. Will definitely be back for another class soon.
Amazing food and service especially our lovely server Amy. We will definitely be back!
Tonight was our first time here. Food was amazing. Great price. Good size. Delicious. Amazing wine and beer selection too. Will definitely go back.

Went here for an impromptu dinner with the partner following an evening walk around the Newstead House area.
Tempted by the banquet, and hindered by the minimum of four people requirement, we settled for:
- small bite, "betel leaf with rare beef": a light and delicious starter with tender beef, and nice bite of fresh citrus and tamarind.
- medium bite, "prik king stir fry of pork": a simple stir fry of spicy pork and beans; enjoyed the added pickled garlic and peppercorns.
- large bite, "sichuan spiced half duck": perfectly cooked duck with accompanying poached plums, which adds a balance of sweet and sourness.
- dessert, "chilli chocolate parfait": lovely creamy parfait with a very subtle of heat.
We had also ordered one side of jasmine rice to share for the mains, which turned out to be the right amount for us.
Casual ambience. The eatery is tucked away in a quiet street, nearby the up-and-coming Bunnings Warehouse. It also appears that they do cooking courses as well. Reasonably friendly service. Reasonable prices.
Overall, a lovely find for modern Asian dinner.
We've done quite a few cooking classes in our time. If a majority of those classes were taught in a similar fashion to advanced home-ec then by comparison, the Golden Pig takes a university style approach. Most cooking classes we've taken run you through recipes as a group before starting. Instead here they tackle each dish in separate groups and you simply get stuck in to the mis en place and techniques by yourself - asking your teacher for advice when needed. Unsure if this is the case with all their classes, but this was the case with their French Bistro 2 class last year.
Both positive and negatives can be taken away from such an approach, but as they say - the proof is in the pudding, and all of our proverbial pudding was delicious. We picked up some handy tips and tricks that we still use to this day and would recommend the Golden Pig to any true foodies wanting to learn some advanced cooking skills...however, it might not be as enjoyable for complete rookies.
Excellent food. My group of five each each ordered a different meal and everyone loved theirs. I had the lamb which was outstanding. Cool, industrial interior with lots of plants. Will be back!
Being a food-lover does mean that I'm not too shabby in the kitchen. I'm not exactly creating croquembouches every fortnight, but I can churn out the basics quite nicely. Need someone to get that pasta dish done? I'm your girl. . Whether you're the executive chef at home or more in charge of the sponge and scourer, there's always room to learn something new in the kitchen. That's exactly what you can do at The Golden Pig Cooking School in Brisbane's Newstead.
I had a delicious today duck toastie here and coffee was pretty good too. Decor is industrial, with wide open space, order at the counter service. Service would've been nice with a smile, but it wasn't bad.
They also do cooking classes here- would love to try a class. It was a real pain trying to find parking, they do have 3 spots in front of the store, street parking is hard to come by, I think it might be a lot easier on the weekend when people working in the area aren't around. I'd come back, but probably on a weekend.
Casual Dinner - Serious Diner reviews. In response to your review, we have never had a Nose To tail Pig Day at the Golden Pig or any other sort of class involving Pig butchery. I think you have the wrong cooking school.
We are holding our very first Nose to tail Pig day on Sunday June 21st, 2015. It will be an intensive hands- on, 6 hour class of butchering a whole pig and cooking up a feast using different cuts including, braised cheeks, rolled and stuffed loin, crispy fried tail & ears, stuffed trotters, sausages and curing a ham.
Perhaps you should come along to our class!
Cooking School Was Fantastic. Hi,
My Wife and I attended a cooking school together - the food was amazing and the experience cooking it was fantastic. Classes are run by dividing the whole group into smaller groups of 4, meaning we were put with another couple. Our experience was impacted by the couple we were paired with as they were regulars, and we open about their unwillingness to work in a team at all. We were still able to learn a lot, have a great experience and enjoy some amazing food, but the group dynamic is something that you should be aware of before going.
Highly recommended place to go for a great night out with a difference.
We love it!. We're so glad the Golden Pig cafe is in our neighbourhood. What an asset - we just love it! Friendly, attentive staff; excellent coffee; and wonderful, reasonably priced food. Their lunches are to die for! Highly recommended.
The place was cozy. Service was quick. Food was cooked well. The chicken was yum! Highly recommended and it’s a good amount for sharing. Really enjoyed dining here
We were given vouchers for this cooking class by our son. We did not know what to expect so were very pleasantly surprised with the whole experience. Owner and chef Katrina expertly guided us through the Portuguese and Spanish cuisine recipes, providing us with some great tips, all of which were generally applicable. It was a fun afternoon, capped by sharing the delicious dishes we had prepared. Highly recommend this culinary experience to anyone who enjoys cooking or eating good food!
Wow!!! Absolutely delicious fusion Asian cuisine.. Bursting with flavour. Staff are excellent and so attentive..
I did a cooking class there. A really enjoyable afternoon out. I got to have a chat to some fellow foodies, use some very cool knives and eat a delicious three course meal that we all cooked at the end of it.
Absolutely brilliant. Great food and drinks. Fantastic staff. I'll be back again and signing up for some cooking classes 😀
We had such a wonderful time at the Spanish & Portuguese cooking class!! Katrina was a fantastic teacher and was incredibly generous with chef tips & tricks. She managed to ensure everyone was included with a good mix of hands-on and demos. Beautiful venue, well organised, gorgeous ingredients & recipes. Couldn’t recommend this cooking school enough and am looking forward to trying the restaurant!! Thanks Katrina and team!
