Where to find us –
Dan was really knowledgeable about bread making giving us handy hints and tips, it was easy to follow his instructions. He had a friendly and relaxed approach helping out if needed e.g my wonky bread sticks!!! I was a novice, however my friend is a more experienced bread maker we both enjoyed it very much. While our bread was proving we were treated to a cup of tea and delicious cakes. When they were baking we sampled our flat breads and bread sticks with some humous, olives, cheese and salad. We all had yummy loaves at the end of it which went down well with some pate and glass of wine when we got home. It has inspired me to try making some more loaves at home. It was a great afternoon I would definitely recommend it and it was good value for money.

I booked this bread making experience for my Mum’s 70th Birthday. Jinny and Dan were fantastic mentors and hosts, which made the day memorable and fun. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends and family!

Learnt how to make a loaf of bread, breadsticks and flat bread. Flatbreads in particular were so easy we won’t be buying them anymore! Both Dan and Jinny were very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable. Highly recommended!
Rebecca
Very enjoyable and informative afternoon — relaxed, fun, and everyone made a great looking loaf as well as flatbreads and breadsticks. Dan was a great teacher and Jinny made everything run smoothly.
Also, lunch was delicious – homemade soup, cheeses, hummus, and salad!
Thank you and I’ll definitely be booking another class very soon.

Fantastic afternoon making bread products, loaf of bread, bread sticks and flat breads with Dan Hunter. Really good teachers and lovely soup made by Jinny. All equipment and utilities provided. Great company. Rounded off my Birthday weekend
Delia
I have learnt quite a few things from this bread class e.g wet doughs for an open crumb, dry doughs for a dense brick like loaf. Dan’s knowledge of bread was fantastic. The atmosphere in the class was phenomenal, relaxed and low pressured and I wish I could do it all again.
