  • 5/5 from Simon Ashton, attended Jan 2026: This was a Christmas gift and it was easy to organise. The course was great value; loits of areas covered and a bag of items made to take home.
  • 5/5 from Simon England, attended Jan 2026: Really enjoyable day teachers were very good and learnt different things that I can try at home
  • 4/5 from Ayumi Horsfall, attended Oct 2025: I really enjoyed the class- it was fun. The pace was a bit fast, and I wished we had more time to learn how to handle and knead the dough in details. I'd have loved to see his technique more closely. I also appreciated that they cleaned up everything for us - it made the experience relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you.
  • 5/5 from Chris Wilson, attended May 2023: Great informal course. Pam was lovely. And great value too. Will definitely do another course from the school...
  • 4/5 from Maegan Hester, attended May 2023: Welcoming, fun, and tastey treats. Perfect activity and so much food to take home. Only wish a menu would have been provided as the type of bread made was a bit different than expected. Still a lovely class.

  • 5/5 from Richard Smith, attended Oct 2022: Fantastic course. Absolutely loved every minute and learned so much.
