Bacon Curing Course in Maidenhead

The Experience

Discover the craft of traditional bacon making with this half-day Bacon Curing Course in Maidenhead, run by the artisan team at Bray Cured HQ.

The experience takes place at their working charcuterie factory, where guests learn how to transform pork ribs into beautifully cured bacon using authentic methods.

The day begins with an introduction to curing and butchery before you create your own spice mix and blend the perfect cure. With expert guidance throughout, you’ll explore how seasoning and timing shape the final flavour. Each stage is hands-on and easy to follow, making it ideal for beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Between activities, you’ll be treated to freshly brewed coffee and canapés, followed by a charcuterie tasting lunch accompanied by English wine or a soft drink. You’ll also tour the factory to see how the professionals air-dry and cold-smoke their meats.

After the class, your bacon will be left to mature in controlled conditions before being posted to your home once it’s ready to enjoy.
