ORPINGTON
THE BAKE
DOWN
EST 2026

Fifteen ovens.
One recipe.
Sixty minutes.

Bring your people. Everyone gets their own station, a head baker calls the shots, and at the end you find out whose bake actually won.

No booking yet — waitlist members get first pick of opening-week sessions.

How a session runs

Same format every time, different recipe every week. No experience needed — nobody in the room has made it before either.

1

Take a station

Apron on, oven pre-heated, ingredients weighed and waiting. Drinks come to you from the bar.

2

Bake along

The head baker works a step ahead of you on the big screen. Fall behind and someone will come and help.

3

Get judged

Everything goes on the table, the room votes, one apron gets handed over. Then you take your bake home in a box.
