I would highly recommend this course even for gaining some tips and tricks to BBQing This course was given to me as a birthday present and possibly one of the best presents to give someone Thanks again Alan
• 5/5 from Bruce Westmore, attended Nov 2024: Well – what a wonderful way to spend an afternoon – Ted and the crew were just amazing– a wonderful setting in Centennial, everything set up and super organised – friendly and accommodating– we learnt so much and at the end of all of that had the most amazing meal – highly highly recommended
• 5/5 from Stefan Briggs, attended Feb 2024: Overall feedback is fantastic. All Teachers especially Julian were unbelievable & the food was simply amazing. I really liked how they engage the crowd and get everyone involved.
• 5/5 from Rosa H Jee, attended Feb 2024: This was very educational and the Instructor Julian was very engaging! Highly recommend this class!
• 3/5 from John Finucane, attended Feb 2024: Thought the class size was too big to be actually hands on and able to do more and learn more. It was interesting but didn’t learn a great deal. Also, being charged $8 a beer, and you can’t bring your own, and the choice was dreadful, was a real turn off and felt like a rip. I’d struggle to recommend this course.
• 5/5 from Carol Camden, attended Jan 2024: Teachers fun to learn from. Good support staff, could follow the process of smoking meat etc. Would recommend course to anyone. Carol Camden
• 4/5 from Gordon Ashley, attended Jan 2024: Experienced and knowledgeable teacher with a background in event catering: big events. The course used very big lumps of meat, eg a 6.5kg brisket, great for feeding a big group and the eating experience was great.
• 5/5 from James Cassar, attended Dec 2023: Teacher was engaging and knew the content well. Always willing to take questions and kept it professional but laid back
• 5/5 from Nickolaus Leonardos, attended Nov 2023: I bought this as a gift for Father’s Day to do as an experience with my dad. It was an awesome afternoon learning how to prepare and cook an American style bbq. Food was incredible, the hosts did a great job walking us through it all and have received some Ebooks with all the info so we can have a go smoking some meat at home. Highly recommend!
• 5/5 from John, attended Nov 2023: The teacher was informative got some very good tips. A good experience all round Kind Regards John Leonardos
• 4/5 from Ross Henderson, attended Nov 2023: The teachers were very knowledgeable and provide great tips. The venue was good and central albeit a little basic. An apron was provided that you keep but it was plastic and little basic. A nice cloth material one would be great so you feel more incline to keeping it. The class was more of a demonstration rather than a doing class. We did learn some good tips about smoking times and wrapping the meat. Tasting the product at the end.
• 5/5 from Eriko Iwata, attended Jun 2023: You can learn a lot about smoking, and the spicy brownie was fantastic! Great for a gift as well:)
• 3/5 from Anthony George, attended Jun 2023: The meat was good but the teacher clearly doesn't understand that a constant stream of sexist jokes and purposly mispronouncing his assistants name to embaress him is not appropriate.
• 5/5 from Doreen McCulloch, attended Jan 2023: Great class! You don't walk away hungry! Great hands on, a bit of humour, a lot of knowledge shared and wonderful people to share ideas and laughs! I purchased 3 tickets - hubby and brother and the class was enjoyed by all! Ted and Andrew were amazing! Loved the venue and ease of parking.
• 5/5 from Diane Stedman, attended Jan 2023: Teacher was engaging and passionate. Answered queries explaining pros and cons which made things clear and gave options. Such as explaining the different cookers and how to distribute heat and lighting coals/ wood
• 5/5 from Les Hill, attended Jan 2023: Great knowledge from the instructors, outstanding food to enjoy at the end. Well done team.
• 5/5 from David Peninton, attended Jan 2023: Great experience, staff were excellent and we learnt a lot. Would highly recommend and looking to book the middle-east experience.
• 3/5 from Paul Bubb, attended Dec 2022: The two teachers were excellent, had a great style and willing to share their knowledge and gave some great tips and advice. However, there were many detracting elements- The venue was hard to find and very basic in nature. The drink options were limited. Apparently the class the day before had cleaned them out- ah, shops were still open to restock We were told we would prepare the sides- we were given one option and there was three of us doing two elements. Yes, you have provided the recipes but they were pretty easy options Outside of your control, but a magpie flew into the dining area and pooped on a tablecloth. We told the young fella (Dan?) and, inside of your control, he just shrugged- AND LEFT IT THERE for the people who then had to sit at that table to eat. Overall, we were less impressed than we wanted to be.
• 3/5 from Eric Frost, attended Dec 2022: This class was ok. Not really hands on, mostly just observing the prep. Somewhat informative but didn’t leave feeling ready to start smoking. Teacher nice & funny at times. Food snacks were good. Main meal was a little disappointing, not super tasty at all.
• 5/5 from Deborah Vandeburgt, attended Nov 2022: Our teachers Ross and Andre were fantastic, entertaining, informative and super friendly. The class itself was fun, inclusive and we got a lot out of it! You do have to come with a somewhat basic understanding of Charcoal bbq’ing and smoking but the teachers were more than happy to talk through anything you didn’t understand It was a joy to eat at the different bbq’ed meats at the end and loved getting the digital cook book too Highly recommend this class
• 5/5 from Nicole Steele, attended Oct 2022: Fantastic day and our chef was awesome. I would highly recommend this couse and l will be doing further courses with these people. Many thanks Paul (kiwi)

Location was good, easy to get to and lovely scenery in park area. All cooking instruments and ingredients provided. Great level of class participation encouraged by teachers. The course was worth the price and a good experience overall.
• 5/5 from Adam Luchjenbroers, attended Jan 2022: Bought the class as a Christmas present. Hubby said the teacher had great presence, and a confidence that was catching enough he tried some things he would normally steer away from. A fun and inspiring class that he fully intends to dig further into.
• 3/5 from Steven Tavani, attended Jul 2021: I have no idea why you are asking me to review a class I didn't attend because of Lockdown.
• 4/5 from Briellyn Trethewy, attended Apr 2021: We found it didn’t teach us anything we didn’t already know however made new friends which made it all worth it.
• 5/5 from Louise Rheinberger, attended Mar 2021: Fantastic teacher, knowledgeable, funny, thorough and delivered the information in a logical fashion. I would have liked some coleslaw with the meal but it had run out by the time I got my meal. Not a huge issue!
• 4/5 from Allison Smith, attended Mar 2021: All was good. Teacher spent a lot of time answering everyone’s questions in detail. Wasn’t rushed, good timing.
• 5/5 from Annemarie Hunt, attended Jan 2021: The set up was great! Had plenty of different options for smokers. Great presentation and explanation on how to prepare the foods. Also, very personable with the class, answering everyone’s questions.
• 5/5 from Jessica Kane, attended Jan 2021: Fantastic class! Learnt a lot about smoking meats and ate some of the best brisket I've ever had Would highly recommend for anyone at any level of smoking. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. I'm still full. :)
• 4/5 from Laura Suter, attended Jan 2021: My fiancé and I enjoyed this class and learnt a lot about American Smoking! Thank you for putting on this experience!
• 5/5 from Dwayne Beale, attended Dec 2020: Great location and value for money. Was very hands on for those participants who wanted to involve themselves in this aspect of the class and of course, the food was great.
• 4/5 from Clare Thomas, attended Nov 2020: Bought these tickets for my husband, who loves barbecuing. Good presentation and explanation on how to prepare the foods. The teachers were happy to answer everyone questions. Lovely way to spend a few hours, especially as you get to eat the delights of the afternoon BBQ class.
• 4/5 from Tony Liddy, attended Sep 2020: I thought the hosting by Seamus was fantastic - he was good with people and quite funny. The location and venue were great. The aprons were NAF - not worth keeping - an opportunity missed if it's a good apron, will be worn later and other people see the branding. I was a little disappointed by the content. The overall plan of what we were to learn was sound, but it was less hands-on than I expected. More of a demonstration and tasting than a lesson.
• 5/5 from Catherine McBride, attended Aug 2020: Hi this was a great class. The teacher was great, very knowledgeable and engaging. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to expand their BBQ skills.
• 5/5 from Micheal Parker, attended Aug 2020: Teacher was great, venue was perfect. Class was very informative and filled with good memories
