The Abergavenny Baker

The Abergavenny Baker Eat, drink, chat, laugh & treat yourself to a day of baking or making fresh cheese and butter. Fresh. Simple. Delicious. £125 per person.

Classes are held for a maximum of 8 bakers allowing plenty of opportunity for discussion, hands on experience and questions. The day starts in the kitchen at 9.30am – with views up over the vineyard to the peak of the Sugarloaf Mountain. We’ll drink coffee and discuss the science that transforms a few simple ingredients into beautiful breads.

10am Roll up your sleeves and start mixing, kneading,

shaping and baking. I usually choose three different doughs to make four or five types of bread and you’ll have the option of working alone or in pairs. Late morning coffee and the first taste of your freshly baked bread.

2pm lunch

4.30pm aim to finish

Armed with your bag of bread, recipe cards, knowledge and experience you will leave The school as a baker (no longer a mere follower of recipes) – with the confidence to bake at home. The day finishes at 4.30pm. All ingredients, equipment, recipes and refreshments are included. Just bring a smile to give Rachael when you arrive!

Hidden in The Courtyard, just above Bean & Bread cafe on Lion Street in Abergavenny is a lovely little cookery school where you can spend a whole day mastering the skills to bake beautiful bread. From crusty focaccia and French fougasse to the traditional batch loaves of Swansea and the secrets of sourdough.

9.30am to 3.30pm Freshly baked bread for “second breakfast”, lunch with wine, refreshments throughout the day and a big bag of your bread to take home.
