This is a group activity for up to 6 people which gives you an introduction to making that great British classic – the pork pie. You will learn from pork pie professional Jacqui Marsden who will teach you how to make the unique hot water crust pastry and create a meat filling fit for a king.
As well as catering for traditional pork pie lovers Jacqui will reveal how to customise your pies by introducing different cuts, types of meat and additional ingredients to create your own distinctive flavour.
You will also learn the art of pasty making and take home a traditional savoury pasty with a melt in the mouth short crust pastry.
Your workshop includes a delicious Penistone Ploughmans lunch. This will be followed by a choice of two homemade cakes – which could include cream scones, chocolate brownies, lemon drizzle or carrot cake. Yummy! If you are booking for a birthday treat or special occasion let us know and we can arrange for your cake to be a Victoria sponge or chocolate cake with fresh cream filling, homemade jam and strawberries. Teas and coffees will be provided throughout the day. All equipment and ingredients will be supplied.
You will each take away two pork pies, one created using her ‘Little Champion’ pie making machine and one made by hand plus a savoury pasty and your own pork pie recipe.

Pork Pie and Pasty making workshop in Penistone near Sheffield
Jacqui Marsden of Penistone Pies and Puddings runs the Pork Pie and Pasty making workshop from her farmhouse kitchen in Penistone near Sheffield.
She makes her pies using a recipe that has been in her family for three generations and using a piece of machinery that her grandfather bought in an auction of Second World War army surplus equipment in the 1940s. The vintage pie-making machine ‘Little Champion’ was sold in the 1970’s when Jacqui’s grandfather sold his business but returned to the family by chance when her father, also a pork pie maker, bought it from a seller in the local newspaper.
Other workshops from Penistone Pies include: a pork pie and picallili making workshop, a family cookery workshop and an Italian cookery workshop.
