Learning puff pastry from scratch with acclaimed pastry chef Ravneet Gill sets Sauce by the Langham apart as a cookery school where professional expertise meets elegant surroundings. Located within The Langham hotel in London's West End, this distinguished school brings together the hotel's own professional chefs with guest specialists to teach baking skills in a stylish, well-equipped kitchen.
The school offers baking classes that span sweet and savoury techniques, from fundamental Bread Making sessions covering rustic country loaves, focaccia, soda bread and milk buns, to specialised Pastry courses. The half-day Proper Puddings class teaches the precision of shortcrust sweet pastry alongside crème pâtissière and chocolate fondant, whilst the innovative Buns Buns Buns workshop explores Scandinavian-inspired enriched doughs, teaching scrolling and knotting techniques for cinnamon and cardamom buns with various fillings from flavourful butters to rich pastry cream.
Children aged 4-12 can join dedicated Sweet Bakes and Savoury Bakes classes, learning classics like lemon drizzle cake, chocolate fudge brownies, tiger bread and homemade pesto in a supportive environment, with accompanying adults welcome at no charge. The unique Blooms & Bakes collaboration combines seasonal baking with luxury floral arrangement in both the kitchen and the elegant Conservatory dining room.
Classes include comprehensive refreshments, from welcome beverages to wine tastings and plentiful lunches, with participants taking home their baked creations alongside recipe packs, personalised aprons and branded tote bags. The school suits bakers of all levels seeking professional instruction in refined hotel surroundings, from £175.
