Pump Street Mince Pie Class

Join us on this three-hour deep dive into the famous Pump Street Mince Pie.
Our pies have featured among the best in the UK and we will be showing you how to make them at home.

Mince pies use ingredients that first entered the UK from around the thirteenth century, when Orford Castle was a relative new-build. Steeped in history, religious symbolism and bags of flavour, mince pies now represent a staple of the festive period.

You'll learn how to make both the pastry and the mincemeat from scratch and take home a little of each to continue baking. We'll also have pre-prepared pastry and beautifully aged mincemeat ready for you to make four delicious mince pies of your own. We will also have the chance to eat a warm pie, hot from the oven and adorned with cream and brandy butter, a perfect experience for any true mince pie lover. Coffee, tea and hot mulled cider will round off the session.

Please note that this workshop involves the use of common allergens, including wheat, egg, milk, almonds and sulphites. We use a suet which is suitable for vegetarians. Brandy is also used in the mincemeat mixture. If you have any dietary requirements or allergies, we kindly ask that you contact us via email at info@pumpstreetchocolate.com prior to booking so we can advise on whether suitable accommodations can be made.
