River Cottage Great Pies

Spend a day perfecting your pastry skills with a hands-on workshop at River Cottage. Inspired by our Great Pies book, this fun and informative day will teach you the tips and tricks for mastering a variety of pastry types, including hot water crust, rough puff, shortcrust, and suet. Under the expert tuition of our skilled River Cottage chefs, you’ll learn how to use these pastry techniques to create comforting classics like pork pies, savory suet pudding, pasties, and quiches.

Throughout the day, you’ll bake and enjoy some of your creations. By the end of the course, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to make your own pastries at home. As always, you won’t leave hungry – you’ll enjoy your efforts for snacks and supper, plus take the rest home to share with family and friends.
