The Bakehouse

Offering a fully refurbished and fitted out kitchen, the Bakehouse includes a full demonstration and hands-on baking room, together with a professional kitchen & bread ovens.

Used to bake cakes for the tea rooms and the occasional pop-up Saturday Bake Shop, the Bakehouse is also the venue for our exciting specialist baking courses.
