On a wet afternoon or a sun-splashed evening in Bath, Hen & Stag – Cook Your Creations brings a distinctly hands-on culinary escape to The Richmond Arms, 7 Richmond Pl, Bath BA1 5PZ. Inside Federico’s Pasta Laboratory you’ll learn to mix, roll and shape fresh pasta—Tagliatelle, Tagliolini and filled Tortelli—then sit down to eat the dishes you just made, paired with wine from the pub’s bar. The experience runs about 2 hours 45 minutes and fits small private groups (5–15 people), making it ideal for pre-wedding celebrations, team nights out, or friends who want to cook together. The class balances structured technique with a loose, social atmosphere: you’ll get practical tips on dough hydration, rolling thickness, and hand-sealing filled pasta, then put those skills to use on pasta machines and cutting boards. Music comes from your playlist, which the group controls—expect a lively, personal soundtrack beneath clinking glasses and warm flour dust. What makes this offering unique for Bath is the pairing of authentic Italian craft with the city’s compact conviviality. Bath’s Georgian streets and Roman histories provide the backdrop, but this is a grassroots, tactile encounter: a private room in a local pub transformed into a working pasta lab. The key features are small-group instruction, private use of the space, multiple pasta shapes, and the convivial sit-down meal with two house sauces and wine. Gluten-free eating options can be provided, though the team notes gluten-free dough may not behave the same in machines—advise of allergies in advance. Practical details: the minimum age is 12; under-16s must attend with a paying adult. Classes are private and bespoke—packages range from a 1 hour 45 minute format to an extended 2 hour 15 minute class for groups wanting to master three shapes. All bookings are non-refundable; amendments are possible up to 28 days before the class. For party planning or bespoke requests you can call 07791256635 or email Federico at [email protected]. Local insight: couple this class with an early evening stroll across the Pulteney Bridge or reserve it as the main event for a Bath weekend. The experience fits any season—its indoor, relaxed pace makes it a reliable option regardless of weather. Why book it? If you want to strip away polished dining formality and instead produce something physical, shareable and rewarding, this hands-on pasta session offers technique, laughter, and a meal that tastes better because you made it. Federico leads each session with practical patience and a fondness for lively groups; an at-home version can be arranged if you prefer to host the party elsewhere. Classes aim to be inclusive—contact the team in advance to discuss accessibility or dietary needs—and expect to leave with recipes and confidence to reproduce fresh pasta at home today.

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.
