Testimonials

Cooking “dirty” was a game changer

"No one will man me off the BBQ ever again!"

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!


Phil & Lisa September 2021

"Relaxed, fun and educational"

"No one will man me off the BBQ ever again!"

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!"

"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!"


Phil B, Swindon June 2021
