“Great pie making day”
Great morning making pies, very informative and interesting, super hands on experience
“Great Experience”
Me and my partner done the Pork Pie making experience and I have to say it was one of the best we have done. Our teacher Claire was so good and very informative. She made you feel at ease and was a really good teacher. We came away with 2 pies each, one which was already cooked and one we made from scratch. Due to current restrictions we were given a picnic bag which had a lovely selection of foods in and was delicious. We would definitely recommend
“Like pies? you'll love this!”
Really enjoyed this experience. Great location, brilliant presenter! and learnt loads. Will be making all our pies now, unless we get the Brockleby ones! Highly recommended
