The short answer
Free pickup is from a hotel or villa in the main Ubud area. Seminyak is a different trip, not that zone. The kitchen in Petulu is about 10 minutes from central Ubud, depending on traffic, not 30 minutes from the middle of Ubud.
Ten minutes from central Ubud, never thirty
Warung Tumang Bali is in Banjar Laplapan, Petulu. From central Ubud the ride is about 10 minutes, depending on traffic. It is not a 30-minute transfer from the middle of Ubud. If a listing told you 30 minutes, that is the wrong figure for this kitchen.
Pickup and drop-off are free from a hotel or villa in the main Ubud area. The driver needs the hotel name and a clear spot at the gate. The pin is -8.4945671, 115.2812928, in Petulu. The ride from central Ubud is the page for that short hop.
Seminyak is not the included pickup
Seminyak sits on the south coast. It is a different trip, not a village lane from Ubud. The class does not treat a Seminyak hotel as the main Ubud area. Do not expect the free driver to start there.
If you are staying in Seminyak, spend the night in Ubud before a morning session, or make your own way to the main Ubud area and arrange pickup from there. A dawn start from the south will eat the market hour.
What to tell the kitchen
Say the hotel name and the town. Ubud, Mas, Peliatan, and Petulu are the useful cluster. Seminyak, Canggu, and the airport road are not that cluster. The kitchen will not invent a second pickup zone to match a beach booking.
Session times stay the same: 8:30am to about 12:30pm, or 2:30pm to 5:30pm. Pick the afternoon if you are coming from the south the same day and cannot be in Ubud early.
