Recent reviews of Dumpling Making Class with Canapés

  • 3/5 from Georgina Crompton, attended May 2026: The dumplings we made were fantastic, the setting was amazing! Maisie was amazing at showing us how to fold the dumplings to get the shapes! The booking did specify learning 20 different dumplings, we were shown 3 styles in total, with enough dough / filling for 16 individual dumplings. The flavours were fantastic but it would’ve nice to know beforehand that a handful of styles would’ve been shown, with 2.5hr booking I would’ve liked to have seen other styles as well. It would also be good to let people know that dumplings that aren’t cooked (with the pork filling) should be frozen straightaway as we had to dispose of ours on the way home as we live 20/30 minutes away from the venue. We had a brilliant time at the course!
  • 3/5 from Matt Barton, attended May 2026: The teacher was friendly but we were only taught 2-3 shapes, so don’t expect some masterclass. You also only get 2 canapés each at the start. And you have to buy any drinks from the bar. So all in all, £50 per person feels steep for what’s a reasonably fun but basic class.
  • 5/5 from Claire Ogden, attended May 2025: This was an amazing class, really great support and guidance offered by Oi Dumplings, especially as I attended alone and there was a larger party group booked, they were very attentive ensuring I was ok. The instructions were super clear and demonstrated folding expertly. On arrival we were given the most scrumptious canapés, all equipment and ingredients were provided and we got to take a fair amount home too! Such an inspiring class, I would absolutely recommend great value for money and new skills learnt, I will be making more dim sums this weekend. Girls, you smashed it xxx
  • 5/5 from Rosanna Brown, attended Feb 2025: Really enjoyable and relaxing class and you end up with delicious food. Would definitely recommend!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Adie, attended Feb 2025: Really fun, quality tuition with lots of patience and ready with advice. Delicious food. Great way to spend 2 hours!
  • 5/5 from Hannah Dillon, attended Feb 2025: The class was brilliant; Bertie, Mollie and Maisie were all great teachers, they explained how to make the dumplings clearly and were on hand to help throughout. The dumplings were delicious too, we were delighted to bring home so many! Big thanks to the Oi Dumpling team ️
  • 5/5 from Beverley Lumb, attended Feb 2025: Activity booked for a Company gathering of 30 managers, all from different businesses within a group coming together. Was the perfect setting and concept to have some fun and mingle informally
  • 5/5 from Jennifer Lee, attended Jan 2025: Lovely evening with delicious food and wonderful teachers
