Baking Club

Our amazing residents enjoy rolling up their sleeves and bringing the smell of freshly baked scones into the home!

Laughter, stories and a little flour on the noses made the kitchen feel like the heart of the home.

There is something truly special about sharing old recipes, creating new memories and savouring every bite together. Delicious with clotted cream and strawberry jam...but what goes on first, the cream or the jam?!
