The Grand Finale: Afternoon Tea Awaits

Celebrate your baking together, enjoying everything you’ve made with jam and cream and a pot of tea. Leave with new baking skills, recipes and delicious memories to take home.


Hosted by sisters Claudia and Giselle, you'll join us in our welcoming North London home to discover three of Britain's best-loved afternoon tea classics using the family recipes we grew up with.
No baking experience is needed! Whether you're travelling solo, as a couple, with friends, or family, this is a warm, sociable experience where you'll meet fellow travellers, share great conversation, and enjoy genuine British hospitality.
What to expect:
  • We'll start with a refreshing welcome drink before tying on aprons and baking together in a relaxed small group.
  • As we bake, you'll master beautifully light, buttery scones, make traditional crumpets with their signature small holes that soak up melting butter and jam.
  • Create homemade lemon curd -- a silky, intensely lemony spread that's been a beloved part of British teatime for generations.
  • Share the stories behind these iconic bakes, plenty of baking tips, and the little techniques that help you recreate them with confidence at home.
Once everything is ready, we'll gather around the kitchen table to enjoy your freshly baked scones and warm crumpets with homemade lemon curd, jams, clotted cream, and a pot of English tea.
With just a small group, there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions, and you'll head home with all the recipes to recreate a traditional British afternoon tea wherever you are in the world.
What you'll get
  • All ingredients and equipment for the experience are included.
  • After baking, we will then enjoy afternoon tea with your freshly made scones, crumpets, and lemon curd, served with clotted cream, jams, and a pot of English tea.
  • We'll also provide you with access to all recipes via a QR code.

The Good Crumb London
The Good Crumb London

female Women-owned

We're Claudia and Giselle. Sisters, home cooks and bakers—and the ones welcoming you into our kitchens. We've always had a soft spot for food and fun.
We grew up in a family where the kitchen was the heart of the home. Taught by our mother and grandmother, we learned to bake from an early age and quickly discovered that food brings people together.
Those moments around the kitchen table inspired The Good Crumb. Today, we share our love of baking, afternoon tea and warm hospitality by welcoming small groups into our family homes. We have fun baking traditional British tea-time favourites together, (think scones, lemon curd and crumpets) and then enjoy it all with a cup of tea, relaxing around our kitchen table.
