“Pie Making Experience”
This day was awesome, had so much fun learning to make Melton Mowbray pork pies, and is an experience that is well worth while doing. The instructor and helpers were friendly and informative, you get lunch as well as the pies you get to take home. What more do you need?
“Great experience, learnt a lot.”
This experience was very good. The staff went through the whole process in stages to make it very clear and easy to understand. The class size was around 20 so small enough that everyone felt involved. In the end we left with 2 pies, one ready to eat the other for cooking whenever we fancy.
