Baking Classes in Somerset
7 baking schools in Somerset
Somerset has a strong concentration of baking schools in and around Bath, alongside options further into the county's rural heartland. The Bertinet Kitchen in Bath, run by baker and author Richard Bertinet, is one of the UK's best-known bread schools, with classes covering croissants, pastry, and flatbreads. The Cookery Studio and Vale House Kitchen add further options in the city. Further south, The Gift of Bread near Martock combines breadmaking with sourdough in the Somerset Levels. Cider orchards, farmhouse cheese, and a long tradition of fruit-growing give the county a genuine connection to artisan food production.

What the dashes mean: a dash never means “no”. Under From or Duration it means the school has not published one, so check when booking. Under Hygieneit means we have no current rating to show for that school – unrated is not the same as low-rated. Under Giftit means we have no record either way, so it is worth asking. Hygiene badges show the month of the last inspection; an amber badge means that inspection is more than four years old – still valid, just worth double-checking.
