Welcome to Tonbridge Bakery School

Hi, I’m Ben — I’ve been a baker for over 12 years and have been lucky enough to work with some brilliant bakeries including Bread Ahead, The Dusty Knuckle, Wild Goose Bakery and most recently Bakery TW.

Baking has always been something I genuinely love, from long fermentation breads and pastries to simple home bakes that bring people together. One of my favourite parts of the job now is teaching baking classes and sharing the skills, tips and confidence I’ve picked up over the years.

For one special week, I’m opening up my home kitchen to teach small groups for hands-on baking classes.

Expect plenty of flour, good conversation, hands-on learning, and a few bakery secrets along the way. From pastries and doughnuts to flatbreads, pizzas and kids’ classes, each session is designed to feel welcoming, fun, and professional — whether you’re a complete beginner or already love to bake at home.

Spaces will be small to keep classes personal, relaxed, and packed with as much baking as possible. Come along, learn something new, and spend a week baking in a real working kitchen with me.
