Kids Pinsa Masterclass Review at Fiume Battersea Power Station
As a parent always on the lookout for unique experiences to share with my child, I was intrigued when I came across the Kids Pinsa Masterclass at Fiume in Battersea Power Station. Promising to teach kids how to make their own pinsa (a unique Roman-style flatbread similar to pizza) with “toppings galore,” this sounded like a great afternoon activity. I couldn’t wait to see if it lived up to the expectations. Here’s everything you need to know if you’re considering it for your own little chef.
When we arrived, each child was given a chef’s hat and apron, setting the tone for a hands-on cooking adventure. The class was led by an enthusiastic chef who guided the kids through each step in making pinsa from scratch, making sure everyone could follow along and feel involved. While the class was a bit unstructured at times, this added to the relaxed and playful atmosphere, which the kids seemed to really enjoy.
One surprise, though, was that the advertised “toppings galore” only included one topping option, and I had expected a bit more variety. Still, my child had fun getting creative with what was available, and the simplicity made it easy for all the kids to jump right in. Along the way, they learnt a little about the history of pinsa and how it differs from traditional pizza, which was a fun addition to the experience.
Tickets were £15 per child, which I felt was decent value for what was provided. If I could make a suggestion, perhaps including a small drink would enhance the experience, especially when compared to other children’s cooking classes we’ve tried. At the end, each child received a certificate, adding a lovely sense of accomplishment to their pinsa-making journey. You can either enjoy the freshly made pinsa on-site or take it home in a box.
Currently, there aren’t any future sessions available, but it’s worth keeping an eye on their website for updates. If your child loves to cook or simply enjoys creative activities, this class is a fun way to let them explore their culinary skills in a friendly, welcoming setting.
