We come To You
Professional sourdough training for hotels, restaurants, bakeries, and private groups
Our sourdough classes are not limited to our Somerset premises. Over the years we have taken our teaching into resort hotels, commercial bakeries, restaurants, private homes, and community centres — working directly with chefs, baking professionals, and private groups in their own kitchens and on their own terms.
If you have a space and a group of people who want to learn, we will come to you.

Who we have worked with
Resort hotels and restaurants We have worked with kitchen teams in professional hospitality settings, teaching chefs how to produce genuine long-fermented sourdough as part of their bread offering. The result is a product that stands apart from anything a supplier can deliver — made in-house, to a consistent method, with real credentials behind it.
Commercial bakeries For bakeries looking to add authentic sourdough to their range, we provide hands-on training in the method from the ground up. Not a recipe — understanding of the process, so your team can produce it reliably and confidently day after day.
Private groups and individuals We are happy to come to a private home, a kitchen equipped for the purpose, or any suitable space where a small group wants to learn together. This is a popular option for families, friends, and small groups who prefer a more personal setting.
Community centres and organisations We have run classes in community settings for groups of varying sizes and backgrounds. If you are organising something for a community group, a charity, or a workplace team, get in touch and we will work out what is possible.
What we bring
We arrive fully prepared. All ingredients, equipment, and instruction materials are provided — you do not need to source anything in advance beyond the space itself. We work around your kitchen, your team, and your schedule.
Every session is tailored to the group. A professional kitchen team working toward a commercial product needs a different approach from a private group of enthusiastic home bakers, and we adjust accordingly.

Could Your Kitchen Be Earning For You?
Many clubs, associations, and community organisations have kitchen facilities that sit unused for much of the week. We offer training that enables your team to run sourdough bread classes — creating a genuine and repeatable fundraising opportunity with very low overheads.
If your organisation has a suitable kitchen and would like to explore this, we are available throughout the UK. Get in touch to find out more.
The same method. Any setting.
What we teach in our Somerset classes and what we teach in a professional kitchen is the same method — wholegrain, stoneground, long-fermented, no additives. The difference is in the application. A commercial bakery needs to understand the method at volume. A hotel kitchen team needs consistency and speed. A private group needs confidence and simplicity.
The bread is the same. Extraordinary in every setting.
