In the heart of Bath, Hen & Stag – Cook Your Creations (At home) turns an evening into a lesson in good food and easy celebration. Located at The Richmond Arms, 7 Richmond Pl, Bath BA1 5PZ, UK, this hands-on pasta class brings Federico’s Pasta Laboratory to life for groups that want to mix, roll and eat their way through Tagliatelle, Tagliolini and filled Tortelli. It’s cooking class, party and practical skill session rolled into one plate. The setup is simple and convivial: small groups of five to fifteen guests work at benches and machines, follow Federico’s step-by-step guidance and play their own music while dough is kneaded and sheets are stretched. The experience is designed for people ages 12 and up, and it scales from a shorter 1 hour 45 minute session to an extended 2 hour 15 minute masterclass. An at-home version can be arranged for private bookings that prefer to host the party where they are staying. What makes this experience stand out in Bath’s busy hospitality scene is its blend of craft and conviviality. Guests leave with practical skills—knife work for filling, the right dough hydration and machine technique—as well as a shared meal of the pasta they made, plated with two house sauces and wine from a fully-stocked bar. The class is especially popular for pre-wedding gatherings and celebrations because it couples teamwork with tasting: people collaborate on recipes and then sit down together to enjoy the results. Practical details matter here: classes aim to be inclusive and the team can advise on allergies; gluten-free pasta can be provided for eating but machines may not handle GF dough the same way. Bookings are non-refundable but you may amend reservations up to 28 days out or send a substitute under certain terms. Under-16s must attend with a paying adult, and alcohol is served only to guests 18 and older. Beyond technique, the session offers a local flavor—Bath’s Roman and Georgian heritage hangs just outside the door—making this more than a kitchen lesson. It’s an intimate way to engage with the city’s food culture and bring home a repeatable skill. Whether you’re planning a celebratory night, a team-building treat, or simply want to make restaurant-quality pasta with guidance from Federico, this class delivers a lively, practical, and deliciously memorable dive into pasta craft. Expect hands-on stations with dough mixers, rolling machines and cutters; instructors provide demonstrations, one-to-one help for common issues like overworked dough or uneven thickness. The social format encourages rotation through tasks so everyone learns a part of the process. If you book the at-home option, the team adapts the class to your kitchen footprint and schedule, supplying equipment and a tailored playlist for a culinary night.

Pasta Laboratory in Bath, England offers hands‑on pasta making classes led by chef Federico. The business runs a variety of experiences, including small private classes, hen and stag party workshops, at‑home sessions, and corporate team events. Classes focus on creating fresh pasta from scratch — mixing dough, rolling sheets, cutting and shaping pasta into forms such as tagliatelle and tortelli. Each experience combines practical instruction with food and drink: several classes include a glass of prosecco and pastries, and participants often finish with homemade dishes and tiramisu in a cozy setting. The most popular option teaches three pasta shapes and includes a prosecco welcome, with the option to eat on site or take creations home. For groups that prefer to stay in, Pasta Laboratory offers at‑home classes where Federico brings the workshop to a private kitchen. Pasta Laboratory accommodates celebrations and team gatherings, offering private and customizable sessions for hen and stag parties and corporate events. All classes emphasize hands‑on learning, group participation, and enjoying the dishes made during the session. Federico provides step‑by‑step guidance suitable for beginners and small groups seeking a private culinary experience in Bath.
