Bespoke Lessons / Experience Days At Your Home
How does this work?
Using your grills or I can bring up to two Somerset Grill Asado Go! grills.
I can arrive with meats of your choosing to cook on your grills to show you how to get the most out of them
Learn About:
Meats: Learn how to cook any meat you want, beef, chicken, lamb, pork, fish or even game.
Smoking: If you want to learn how to smoke meat then let me show you how easy it can be to achieve stunning results
Techniques: Learn about direct and indirect cooking, what fuels to use and how best to use them
Sauces: Learn to make your favourite sauces: BBQ, Chimichurri, Ketchup, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mango Habanero Sauce
Rubs: Learn what goes best with different meats
Cost:
For me to come to you the day is £495 - this will include a selection of meats that you choose. I ask you to provide some sides so we can focus on the fire food.
Extra's can include milage, additional people & potential catering
Please contact me prior to paying/booking to ensure the day is possible and planned correctly.
The Finer Details:
Travel:
I'm based in Bristol but i'm more than happy to travel the UK to come to you. I usually would include milage in the cost at 45p per mile.
Payment:
All payments taken in advance to Hunter Gatherer Cooking Ltd via shop or bank transfer
Weather:
If we are relying on the weather then we can look to rebook should it be raining, usually we will know this roughly a week in advance (if the weather forecast is correct). If you have shelter to cook under then this won't be a problem.
Cancellations:
Meat is purchased 24 hours before the day. Cancellations within this period will not be eligible for a full refund.
We aim to have a great day, there are no silly questions and no-one will judge you
Testimonials
Cooking “dirty” was a game changer
Cooking “dirty” was a game changer
Our day with Alex was brilliant. Now that we have a better understanding of the different fuels and how to regulate the temperature for different styles of cooking, we feel inspired and more confident to cook on the coal/wood BBQ. Cooking “dirty” was a game changer - our gas BBQ has definitely been relegated to 2nd place now, we haven’t used it once!

"Relaxed, fun and educational"
Cooking “dirty” was a game changer
An incredible day! The food was superb! Alex has not only taught me how to cook with charcoal and smoke but has completely changed my bbq/cooking approach! He is full of knowledge and I have learned so much which I am already putting into practise! The 1:1 tailor-made service/experience has been spot on right from planning to post lesson! I highly recommend this relaxed, fun and educational day from Alex who has a real passion for what he does 👌🏼

"No one will man me off the BBQ ever again!"
"What a day. Everything we wanted plus more. An education across all our own BBQ kit and how to use it to create delicious food but done so simply. Alex must have a PhD in barbecuing, incredible knowledge with the ability to make even the most seemingly complex task accessible to everyone. A taste sensation.
No one will man me off the BBQ ever again!"
