Our Clootie Dumpling kitchen is where you will participate in the preparation of your own traditional Clootie Dumpling. Once the  dumpling mixture has been prepared, your mix will be wrapped in a traditional Clootie Dumpling cloth, which is known as a ‘cloot’. You will then be invited to give your dumpling a ‘wee skelp’ for good luck before popping it in our big dumpling pots for boiling.

Now it’s time to relax while you enjoy a tea, coffee or juice with a slice of wonderful dumpling and enjoy the aromas and sounds of your Clootie Dumpling cooking. During the break we will share with you the history of the Clootie Dumpling and let you in on a few secret serving suggestions. We’ll have a taste test too where you can sample some of our favourite flavours, some traditional and some with a modern twist.

Once your Clootie Dumpling is ready, you will be invited back into the kitchen to ‘de-cloot’ your dumpling before letting it dry in our ovens before you take it home. Our Clootie Dumpling workshops include all the required ingredients, PPE and cooking equipment.
