Meet the award-winning and talented chefs and bakers leading your masterclass.
Aidan Monks, Lovingly Artisan
Aidan Monks is the Founder of the award-winning bakery, Lovingly Artisan, found on the edge of the Lake District. He started his first bakery in Kendal in the late 1980s before being introduced to slow-fermentation breadmaking (a speciality of Lovingly Artisan) by the French baker who sold him his first batch of artisanal flour. Today, those passing through the Lake District make it a staple to visit Lovingly Artisan for their delicious Sourdough bakes.
Adam Cleal, Niche Patisserie
At the heart of Niche Patisserie is a passion for the art of artisan baking, led by co-founder Adam Cleal and shaped by a career built on craftsmanship, creativity and an uncompromising approach to flavour. Adam’s journey began from his family home, following his appearance in Bake Off: The Professionals in 2019, where he reached the semi-final. From those early days of baking for friends and neighbours, Niche has evolved into an established artisan bakery in the heart of Shropshire. Today, Adam and his team create a considered collection of artisan breads, viennoiserie and patisserie, combining time-honoured techniques with exceptional ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.
Sam Wells, Hobbs House Bakery
Hobbs House Bakery has been running for over 100 years, since 1920. Passed down from generation to generation, it was in 1985 when Sam Wells took over the organisation with his parents John and Marjorie. At Hobbs House Bakery, all their bread and confectionery is made by hand with true care and attention. A staple of theirs? Their 72-year old Sourdough Starter which they've been nourishing with flour and water every day to create countless Sourdough loaves.
Kris Biggs, KNEAD Bakery
Having worked at a 5 star and 2 Michelin-star hotel, Kris and his Co-Founder John wanted to bring their expertise and knowledge to the high street. They knew exactly what they wanted to create; KNEAD Bakery. Their bakes have scooped up multiple Great Taste Awards and their success has allowed them to rapidly expand with bakeries in Oxford, Tewkesbury, Tetbury, Elkstone, Cirencester, and their mobile bakery KNEAD on Wheels.
