Afternoon Tea Experience Days: There's nothing more indulgent or more relaxing than sharing an afternoon tea with a group of friends or loved ones, and whilst it is great to have the treats prepared by someone else, we all have our preferences! During this 3 hour cookery class, you'll learn how to prepare all the elements of an Afternoon Tea before sitting down to enjoy them.
Upon arrival at the purpose-built cookery school in central London, you'll be warmly welcomed by your expert chef for the day, and kitted out with an apron - then it'll be time to get down to business. Throughout your three hour class, you'll learn how to create some quintessentially British cakes and pastries, and will discover the secrets of producing perfect scones. Of course, no Afternoon Tea would be complete without the finger sandwiches, so you'll be using some home-baked breads and locally sourced ingredients to produce the pretty little sandwiches we all know and love. Once all of the elements are assembled, it will be time to sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labor along with a classic British brew, or a glass of sparkling wine - what could be better!
An Afternoon Tea experience with a slight twist, this cookery course is an ideal gift for a special occasion and will equip them with the skills to produce traditional afternoon teas again and again for all their friends and family to enjoy.

Learn to Make Afternoon Tea Cookery Class London Reviews

Here at Experience Days, we love cooking experiences. Especially when we have the opportunity to learn a little more about a cooking company itself. We have recently completed a partner interview with the wonderful Cookery School at Little Portland Street, to learn a part of its history and some interesting facts. This will, for sure, help towards purchasing the perfect cookery experience for yourself or a loved one.
To begin, how was Cookery School at Little Portland Street created?
Cookery School at Little Portland Street founder, Rosalind Rathouse, was a school teacher in South Africa in the 1960s and had lots of experience in catering and food – including running a successful pie factory. When a boy on his year off wanted to learn to cook but could not find a place in any of the handful of cookery schools that existed then, Ros said that she wished that she had time to teach him how to cook. With that thought Cookery School at Little Portland Street began. The following year Jake completed a course in the summer at Cookery School where he learnt to cook with confidence and skill.
Secondly, what would you say to an apprehensive first time
cook, looking to complete one of your cookery experiences?
To throw yourself into it! You’ll learn so much more by actually ‘doing’ as opposed to reading recipes and trying to decipher the techniques and even the ingredients. At Cookery School at Little Portland Street, we have courses designed especially with the beginner in mind but in all of our classes, our cooks are really good at pitching the instructions to the level of the students. This means that everyone is challenged, and everyone leaves a lesson having learnt new things, yet feeling confident in the kitchen.
Can you tell us of any celebrity faces that have visited
your wonderful cookery school at Little Portland Street?
We don’t really reach out to celebrities – that’s not our style. We welcome everyone in to learn decent home cooking. However, we did recently have a TV channel come in and film a gut health expert for an upcoming programme – we’re excited to see that aired.
There are plenty of cookery schools around, what makes yours
especially unique?
Cookery School at Little Portland Street is the most sustainable cookery school in London. We ensure that we put the planet before all else; this means that we have an almost zero waste policy, don’t use plastics, cook with organic meats, local and seasonal produce. We aim to equip our students with the confidence to cook quality, home cooked food without the fads and work hard to demystify cooking.
How would you describe Cookery School at Little Portland Street in three words?
Sustainable, unpretentious and engaging.
Do you have any exciting future plans which you wish to
share with us?
We’re constantly evolving our classes and looking to put new ones on based on the feedback from our students and what’s happening in the world. For instance, there is such a worthy demand for vegan classes, due to the increased number of people who have adopted that lifestyle, that we have extended our vegan class from 3 to 5 hours so that we can impart even more delicious recipes and knowledge to help them eat plant-based. We’re also really concerned about the extortionate amount of food that goes to waste in the UK so have created a class called Waste Matters - dedicated to the browning banana, the surplus potatoes and other bits and pieces people find themselves throwing away at the end of the week. We want to teach clever and creative ways to use up these ingredients to make easy, tasty dishes whilst reducing food waste.
Thank you, Cookery School at Little Portland Street, for finding the time to complete
one of our partner interviews. We thoroughly enjoyed reading your answers and
completely agree with you that it is such an important part of day to day life
to be environmentally friendly. We especially love the idea of your Waste
Matters cookery experience. You can view each of their experiences by clicking on the pictures!
