“The class was a bit hit & miss - Andy was friendly and laid back but the set up appeared to be for fewer people than there were, so that meant that 4 of us were left to our own devices rummaging around finding utensils and ingredients. We were also just left to work our way through a printed sheet of instructions rather than having demonstrations. So I didn't feel like I learnt anything that I couldn't have found in a book at home, which was a shame considering how much the "workshop" cost.”

“Andy was our instructor for the course. He was friendly on arrival. He gave us a quick intro to how to make a starter which was interesting. We then moved to the kitchen area. We were not instructed to work in pairs so the majority of the class then stood at a work station set up for 2 people. This left myself & my friend on an empty work station. When I questioned Andy about this he just said help yourself to anything we need - we didn’t know what we needed and then spent the rest of the class feeling like we were taking other people’s items. Half way through the course we discovered that Andy had put the starter example next to the actual starter so our first 3 recipes had the wrong starter. Andy had not made it clear which starter we should use so we had no idea we had picked the wrong one as he only indicated it was over there! We have been to many cookery courses but unfortunately felt this fell short. There was no organisation and no one to tidy away our dirty/used bowls which we have had many times before. The course was not cheap and we did not feel we learnt a great deal about sour dough which was disappointing. The course ended early which we feel reflects a lot on how the course was given.”
