Howard's Crumpets and English Muffins

Join Howard Middleton (GBBO, series 4) live from Sheffield who will guide you through his recipe for delicious crumpets and English muffins, two quintessentially British bakes. These bakes are the perfect breakfast, brunch or afternoon snack, served warm with butter. This is the perfect class if you're looking to take brunching to a whole new level.

We’ll start off the class with an introductory welcome and some background from Howard's time on TV, before we ask you to put on our aprons & bake along as you watch Howard demonstrate all the skills required to make this lovely treat. Our class will take around 1 hour and 45 minutes as we bake our masterpieces, before you can tuck into the fruits of your labour all whilst hearing fantastic memories and stories from Howard. 

Tickets are priced at £35 for individuals and £50 for groups of two or more that will join from the same household.Places are non-refundable and cannot be cancelled or altered after purchase. All classes are subject to a minimum number of six attendees signing up. If the minimum number is not met, we will inform those who have purchased a place no later than 24 hours before the class, and will arrange a full refund.
