Experience

10am - 10.45am, Mill Tour

This class starts with an exclusive guided tour of the adjoining Town Mill; a pre-Domesday water-powered mill dating back to at least 1340, the time of Edward III. 

• We will visit the Stone Floor, Sack Floor & Meal Floor
• A miller will share about the history, restoration and present day working of the Mill
• We will see the waterwheel in action, powering half-ton millstones grinding grain into flour
• See a demonstration of the milling process and how flour is made the traditional way
• Get hands-on, raising a sack hoist and milling grain

11am - 1pm, Class

Next we move to neighbouring Strawberry Tree for the bread making class.

Together we will make:

• Olive bread - a sumptuous bread similar to foccaccia
• Flatbreads - morrocan inspired - perfect with saucy tapas, dips or alongside some cheese

Giselle will demonstrate and give us some hands-on tasks as we create:

• Torrijas, Spanish-style French toast

You will take away:
   • Your own finished olive bread and some olive bread dough ready to cook at home
   • Your own finished flatbreads
   • Sweet Torrijas dessert

   • 1kg bag wholemeal flour milled at the Town Mill
