  • 5/5 from Brent Morey, attended Jun 2025: Great presentation with a very interesting and engaging chef and value for money
  • 5/5 from Chris Foley, attended Mar 2025: Class was great. Informative and interesting. Teacher Simeon was very good.
  • 5/5 from Darren Reynolds, attended Jan 2025: great class, really good value for $ with four courses, four beers and some really good tips on hom to BBQ correctly. had a totally enjoyable day.
  • 5/5 from Adam Bramley, attended Aug 2024: Really great class, was fun and informative and the food was delicious. Only complaint would be that there wasn't quite enough food, perhaps a more starchy carb would help fill up as the sides were 2 salads and sweet potato. Even just some bread would be nice!
  • 5/5 from Peter Kittelty, attended May 2024: I booked the class as a birthday present for my brother in law and myself. both Pam and Simeon were fantastic teachers. the venue was great, well laid out so you could see what was going on. it was good value for money. lots of food and beers.
  • 4/5 from Marie van Drimmelen, attended Jan 2024: I really enjoyed this class - I wanted to learn more about the different ways to BBQ and there was a lot of information about this in the class. The beer pairing was interesting, and certainly doing scallops on the BBQ was new for me. Finally, doing dessert on the BBQ was an eye opener. Highly recommended class!
  • 5/5 from Jason Cunningham, attended Nov 2023: Both Fabio and Charlotte were fantastic, I'll definitely be back for more. Thanks again
  • 4/5 from Anna Xia, attended Apr 2023: We had Pam the owner and Luci the chef teaching the class today. We went through the different types of bbqs and the fuel they use. There was some hands on preparing and cooking. We made scallops with crunchy salad, scotch fillet with greens, jerk chicken in a drum smoker and lastly the chocolate pudding with berry coulis all paired with craft beers and a beer/drink to begin with. We enjoyed the class sure but we thought the food was a little bit lacking quantity wise.
  • 5/5 from Tracey Purtle, attended Feb 2023: Our teachers were fantastic and very forthcoming with information. Methods of preparation and cooking techniques were very informative which resulted in excellent food to eat! We had great weather and great table of people who made the day very enjoyable with plenty of laughs. Will be heading back to enjoy the restaurant soon.
  • 3/5 from Marcus Rosenberg, attended Feb 2023: need better location, hard to see and terrible to get too. Chefs and food delicious. Free beer good too
  • 5/5 from Margaret Wood, attended Apr 2021: An extremely, engaging, enjoyable, educational, entertaining culinary class delivered by two exceptional informative impressive and sincere professionals who clearly know their craft and how to be effective to teach how to BBQ best.

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.
