Fundraising Update:

We didn’t quite reach our target on our Crowdfunder so if you were meaning to donate but didn’t get the chance over the festive period then it is still up and taking donations, just click here.

You can also our Bread Club by donating £250 to our Crowdfunder, and we will add you to the weekly Bread Club list where you can redeem one loaf per week (for 48 weeks) once we’re up and running in our new home.

The other big way to help us financially right now is by buying gift vouchers to be used for cookery school classes in the new building for when we re-open. These are great gifts as they can be redeemed towards any of the courses we offer!

Cookery School Classes

Thank you so much for filling up our Jan/Feb classes so quickly! We are v hopeful that we will be able to release the first bunch of classes in our new home soon but due to a number of moving parts we are reluctant to do this just yet.

We would much rather be upfront and honest than have people disappointed if we have to change the dates. We understand this is frustrating for those who want to attend our courses but we would hate to leave people in an unpredictable situation. As mentioned above, we are still selling our cookery school gift cards and these are a great way to support us while we push forward to the moving date.

Evening Classes with Availability:

• Tuesday 3rd February 2026 6:30 - 9:30pm - one place remaining!
