Part of the broader Perrys Field to Fork operation - a Staffordshire food school with roots in professional butchery and field-to-plate cooking - the baking programme brings the same hands-on, ingredient-led philosophy to sweet and savoury baking alike. The British Butcher's Classic Pies course is a natural extension of the school's meat heritage, teaching students to construct proper shortcrust-encased pies in the tradition of the British butcher's counter. On the continental side, the Italian Inspired Pasta and Bread course is a full eight-hour day that covers handmade pasta alongside authentic Italian bread, giving students a genuine grounding in both disciplines rather than a whistle-stop taster. For those drawn to French patisserie, the Macaron & Choux Mastery course - another full-day commitment - tackles two of the most technically demanding preparations in a home baker's repertoire. Beyond scheduled classes, the school runs courses for children and junior chefs, making it a genuinely family-friendly venue, and private groups can book bespoke sessions for hen parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and team-building days. The kitchen is also available for hire, and the school offers culinary training aimed at food professionals looking to sharpen specific skills. Students leave with what they've made, and the emphasis throughout is on learning real techniques in a working kitchen environment rather than simply following a recipe. The Staffordshire location draws bakers from across the Midlands and beyond.
