MEET THE TEAM
As a team we are passionate about our product and our customers.  We want our customers to love AGA and to also love the shopping experience in our store.  Whether you own an AGA, have just inherited an AGA or just simply love to cook, why not come and visit us soon?

Penny, the store manager, is the newest member of the team.  “I joined AGA in 2008, having spent most of my working life in retail management.  I am especially passionate about AGA, as I am a keen cook and until I joined the company, I had never had the opportunity to use an AGA.  I have been blown away by how easy cooking on an AGA is and how good the food tastes.  Everything I try just seems to come out perfectly!”

Our deputy manager, Dennis, is our “One-to-One” demonstrator and cooking expert. (He is also pretty handy with a paint brush, hence our newly painted shop interior!) He can usually be found cooking up tasty treats and performing AGA and Rayburn demonstrations for our customers.

Lorraine is our resident football fanatic and she is also fanatical about AGA!  She regularly bakes in store and her repertoire includes Banana and Cinnamon cake, rock cakes and lime and coconut cup cakes. 

Jackie has worked in the Tunbridge Wells store for 12 years and has owned 5 AGA cookers!  She currently has a 13 amp 3 oven AGA and is a fountain of knowledge for all things AGA.

Rebecca has worked for AGA for nearly four years now and makes a mean tarte tatin!  

 
THE AGA COOKERY SCHOOL IN TUNBRIDGE WELLS
You really can cook anything on an AGA - it’s true!  However, sometimes you need someone to show you the Aga way of doing things. 

Whether you’re the Aga aficionado or a complete beginner, the Aga cookery school is here to help and entertain you. 

Start with one of our 'Day in the Life' classes. This will ensure the basics are there, so you know what your cooker is and what tools you need to go with it.  Then, move on to our themed classes to get some great ideas for wowing your friends and family with your culinary skills!

Each class normally runs for about 1½ to 2 hours and you will be able to taste the food at the end of each class so do come hungry!

Our courses are very popular and spaces are limited, so please call us now to book your space on: 01892 530 781

Please note that payment for classes must be made at the time of booking. We look forward to seeing you soon!
