Our family had such a fun time making scones together! Leaf was an amazing instructor, and the scones turned out great- I’ll definitely be making these at home. Highly recommend!

The event only takes an hour, and is a lovely way to get the official Buckingham Palace scone recipe. Leif was our instructor, and he was lovely and warm and patient. I would be happy to attend any workshops he conducted. He is a superstar! Leif made sure that we didn’t get off track, and that our scones would come out properly. Sitting around the communal table also made it enjoyable to get to know other travelers who were participating. I would highly recommend this activity!

Fun experience to add to your London itinerary for some down time from sightseeing. The host Lief takes you through the hour long baking class which is a simple no frills introduction to the “Queens scone recipe.” You’ll mix, need, cut and bake your own scones. Then you get to enjoy with the traditional jam, clotted cream and plenty of tea. You’ll make enough to take a few with you for later also. Great activity for the whole family. Just be advised the activity is in the upstairs of a pub and is not accessible to anyone who cannot easily traverse a staircase.

We visited London for the first time and wanted to do something traditional. So we signed up to make some proper English scones. Leif was our chef and was so knowledgeable and friendly, we had a wonderful time. And the scones…..were incredible! Highly recommend.
