Great fun if you don’t care too much about the cake. Stressful if you actually want to make something good.
We came as a work group and had a lot of fun. It was a very good bake-off experience.
Our recipe used way too much sugar for the buttercream. It was a shame because practically every cake had the same issue - they were unpalatable. Which led to a lot of food waste.
Such a wonderful activity! The tent is exactly as you’d expect if you’re looking for a Bake Off experience. Everything is measured, all the utensils are there, and the instructions are crystal clear making for a very enjoyable cake making exercise. I was there on a work team building activity but it would be ideal as a date night or an evening with a group of friends. I have been recommending to everyone i know.
Loved it, felt like we experienced the bake off! Friendly host and I liked that all the cakes got judged at the end.
Beware of the clock… We fell behind a bit as we didn’t quite realise when we were supposed to be at a given point, but we got there in the end!
Cocktails were a bit sweet (maybe that’s the theme!) but it’s good you can take drinks in, and food was good price and quality for a snack beforehand. Will be back!
Decided to book with my cousins as something competitive and fun to do locally. Charlotte and the team there were the bests hosts, full of humour and ready to support. The recipe was super easy to follow so, don’t feel discouraged if you dont usually bake!

A very fun experience overall. You got a substantial time of 90 minutes but it still seemed to fly by and if you weren't a baker I can see it maybe being a little stressful, although the instructions are easy to follow. Plenty of space if you are a team of two, however 3 can be a little bit of a squeeze in the stations. I would definitely recommend just trying to enjoy the experience and not get too competitive or over complicate things. They change the bake every month and you can see what it is on their Instagram. They were very accommodating for dietary requirements. You also get a good box to transport your bakes home. Lots of different flavours you can pick from so something for everyone. They appear to be on a tight turn around and kept cleaning up after us a bit too efficiently. We would put a bowl of spatula down and turn around to use it a little bit later only for it to have been swept away, a better suggestion would be a washing up bowl or something at the end of each station where items could be placed when people are done with them. Very fun entrance walking through the fridge too! Would recommend for anything from a date night to a larger group outing such as a birthday or hen do!
What a fantastic experience! It was a surprise for my Wife and she totally loved it. So did I! I’m not a baker but these guys made it easy, made it fun and make us both want to go again. If you’ve not been before you really should. It’s great fun.
AMAZING! We loved LOVED loved this experience. You really feel like you are in the show, they even have a review of everyones at the end. We had so much fun, my fiancé and I are competitive so we were thriving! Highly recommend if you are visiting and want a memorable experience!
This was such a fun experience! It's expensive. But for my financial situation it was absolutely worth it. I loved being competitive with no consequences :) we made a swiss roll, which is way too sweet of a dessert for me, but our friends enjoyed it. I love trying new things, being challenged and not having to do dishes!
Tip: if you do want to have drinks there and are at an earlier time, wait until after, because there's a chance that you'll get a discount on drinks...
Also the fruit in the Pimm's is frozen, so no need for ice ;)
A super fun experience. Was nice to try making something under pressure and have multiple flavours and decorations available to try using.
Super fun. Such a good time.
Reasons for why not 5 stars:
Some of the equipment wasn't working like the cooker kept switching off, or we didn't have the right tools in the drawer
A fantastic baking experience!
We had an amazing time making cakes; everything was very well organized and set up for us to get the most out of the experience. And Chef Zai was a lovely, friendly lady who guided us through the experience; we loved the competition vibes. And everyone else was very helpful and kind.
Thank you, the Big London Bake team; we truly enjoyed our time.
We had so much fun. Really well themed throughout. Drinks (Inc cocktails) available while baking. Delicious cake to take home after in a sturdy box which was provided.
I organised this event as a work team social, and what a fantastic social night out it was! It was fun for everyone and encouraged a bit of healthy competition amongst our team! Will definitely be back again!
As a big fan of the British Baking Show, I had to check this out! Every part of the East location was so neat - from the entrance to the bar to the tent itself. Lots of photo-taking opportunities. The baking instructions were clear and easy to follow and the team was great at answering questions as well as helping to keep the stations tidy. We made a summer roll cake for July. The head baker judged our cakes but didn't eat it so we were able to take it home and enjoy it :) I would recommend this for anyone who is a fan of the show!
Unbelievably fun experience! Should be a must-do for anyone in London who’s a GBBO fan.
What a great way to spend 2hours baking at competing against the others.
The tent was great, clean tidy and the staff was mega.
The time flew by. But as we walked back to the hotel the box handle broke so now the cake was a mess, so maybe take something stronger to put into.
Otherwise what a great experience....
Such a fun experience with my boyfriend. Our fist baking experience, it was so much fun! Laiba and the team were great and very helpful!
This was a present to my wife from her brother and we had a fun time. The cakes baked by al the different tables were very good.. we were pleased with our effort and will try it with tea when we get home.
The only thing is it seems a bit rushed but it is bake off. Quite expensive but fun and you dont wash up but you do get a cake
