With this hands-on, interactive beer and smoking class in Centennial Park, you’ll be taught the ins and outs of how to smoke the perfect meat as you and your class prepare a four-course meal complete with a sample beer tasting!
Enjoying a complimentary beer and nibbles upon arrival, your host and chef will take you through the class schedule and what you’ll be learning.
They will then show you how to whip up the perfect marinades, brining and rubbing tips and tricks and important wood-smoking techniques. You’ll then be putting your skills to the test, as you and the class try your hand at smoking meat yourself.
As your meat is cooking, you will receive two sample Australian craft beers, teaching you flavour profiles, how to differentiate hops, and which beers go best with which meats.
At the end of the class, everyone will enjoy the fruits of their smokey labour as you all sit down and enjoy the four courses you’ve created, as well as indulge in beers paired with each course!
Sample menu:
  • BBQ King Prawns with Nahm Jihm Dressing and Crunchy Salad
  • Jamaican Jerk Beer-Can Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges
  • Bass Stait Beef Scotch Fillet with Feta, Basil and Pea Salad
  • Chocolate Lava Pudding with Cream and Balsamic Strawberries
These group cooking classes are perfect if you're looking for fun birthday ideas, unique ideas for a bucks party, and corporate cooking classes.
BBQ School endeavours to run all classes scheduled. However, occasionally not enough bookings are made to warrant the class proceeding or a circumstance out of our control dictates that the class will not go ahead. In these rare cases, we will contact you at least 48 hours beforehand to offer to transfer your booking to another class and date.

The BBQ Cooking School

4.8 (568)

BBQ Cooking Classes, Corporate Events & Catering. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Caberra, Perth and the Hunter Valley.
BBQ School was founded in 2004 by internationally trained chef and passionate foodie Ben Farley who identified that while many Aussies were really into cooking on the BBQ, most only had one or two recipes they knew how to cook really well.
Showing keen BBQ’ers how to prepare and confidently cook a collection of simple, effective and tasty recipes was the best way forward and so in 2004 Ben turned his back on a career in Sydney and London high profile restaurants and founded BBQ School.
In our classes, we assume no knowledge but have found that the more a student knows about BBQ cooking, the more they learn from our experienced chef presenters.
To date around 90, 000 people have been taught through the BBQ School.
Our head office is in Willoughby, Sydney but we also operate regular classes in Sydney's Centennial Park, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Hunter Valley and each year the School continues to grow in response to people who wish to cook with more flair when entertaining.
