Bake & Sip: Master the Ultimate Afternoon Tea in London’s Most Charming Kitchen

There’s something inherently elegant about afternoon tea. But when you’ve made every element by hand—from the bread in your cucumber sandwiches to the jam on your scones—it becomes something even more special.

Join this hands-on cooking class at the beloved Cookery School at Little Portland Street, founded by culinary legend Rosalind Rathouse. In just a few hours, you’ll bake, whisk, shape, and stir your way through the art of British teatime. Expect expert guidance from trained pastry chefs Maddy and Ghalid as you learn to bake scones from scratch, whip up homemade lemon curd, knead the perfect roll, and balance the flavors in a tiered spread of sweet and savory delights.

Once your creations are plated, you’ll gather around the table to indulge in your very own afternoon tea—served with a glass of English sparkling wine or Cornish tea that would make the Queen proud.
