Recent reviews of Seafood BBQ Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Richard Crass, attended May 2026: Fun lists of good tips and great facilities
  • 2/5 from Lorraine O’Connor, attended Mar 2026: We did the seafood BBQ. Our teacher was Jen, all staff very friendly and approachable. The class I felt was poor- there was no BBQ, so the choice of class name was misleading. It was a busy class of about 40 people, so not a very intimate venue. The guidance was also poor - we were given a menu booklet, but no communication on what to start & when. The bench top was lacking in various pieces of equipment- bowls, tongs, kettle, zester, plates etc. The food prepared was nice, not a huge portion per person, but it did not follow the menu. Meant to be various veggies served also, which weren’t available. Overall, a disappointing experience in a nice venue. I wouldn’t recommend.
  • 4/5 from Gordana Vidakovic, attended Jan 2026: The teacher was very good. Spoke clearly and sounded knowledgeable. The only thing I would say negatively was that I would’ve liked to have had the staff come by a bit more to check our practical progress. Otherwise, I feel like I really learnt a lot which is what I came for. The teachers all had a really lovely personality.
  • 5/5 from Hannah Murray, attended Sep 2025: Amazing class amazing teacher!
  • 5/5 from Natasha Zharovsky, attended Aug 2025: The who experience was great …. The whole team was amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
  • 5/5 from Michael Hogan, attended Aug 2025: Amazon class!
  • 5/5 from Shaun Nicholson, attended Jun 2025: My wife and i received this as a gift. What a great experience and lots of top tips from the chef. Met some lovely people, cooked and shared some great food and wine together :)
  • 5/5 from Eric Giddio, attended Mar 2025: Jen was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience.
  • 5/5 from Rebekah Wetherton, attended Aug 2024: very informative and helpful instructor. I dont feel intimidated by seafood anymore! I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to take BBQ to the next level
  • 5/5 from Kylie Loadsman, attended Jul 2024: We booked the seafood BBQ cooking class to celebrate my birthday. The set up at the cooking school was fantastic, with an auditorium, hands-on area and a dinning room. Our presenter Vinnie was really easy to follow and we learnt a great deal. We now know how to easily take apart a whole squid! All the meals we made were absolutely delicious and we were given the recipes as a takeaway and I’ll definitely be cooking these again.
  • 5/5 from Michael Glezerson, attended Jul 2024: Well organised. Great friendly coach and good food. Learnt plenty on course in 3 hrs
  • 5/5 from Margaret Sheehan, attended Jun 2024: Great- she was warm and funny and approachable Good value for money- great hands-on opportunities
  • 5/5 from Brett Clements, attended Oct 2023: The BBQ Seafood class was great. As someone who didn’t feel comfortable cooking seafood on the BBQ I tended to shy away from this. However, after completing this class I feel I have the confidence to give this a red hot go. The teacher was great explaining the process and demonstrating some tips on how to prep the food well, particularly squid and prawns. A receipe book for the four items we cooked was provided. The kitchen was well set out with all cooking implements and ingredients within arms reach. The practical nature of the class was fun and despite being a solo participant I was put in a group and the prep and cooking was very much a group effort, before enjoying our four course feast with a nice glass of wine and bread. A great gift idea! Now to share my new found skills on the family! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Tracey West, attended Oct 2023: We really enjoyed our day, we did it with a few friends and had a great time. It was very informative and we learnt lots about how to cook seafood and just great ideas for marinade sauces. The teacher/s were lovely and very helpful. Then we enjoyed the lovely meal we cooked.
  • 5/5 from Robert Volpato, attended Oct 2023: It was a great day, with a wonderful teacher and I learnt a lot I would highly recommend this course to anyone
  • 5/5 from Lianne Richards, attended Sep 2023: We had a great time at this cooking class. The fish markets are fantastic and even better your parking is validated! Jennifer demonstrated what we would cook and the team were really helpful with tips as we cooked our lunch. Would highly recommend this class.
  • 5/5 from Leonie Davis, attended Sep 2023: Very informative, casual and friendly. Great bunch of people from all walks of life. Thank you
  • 5/5 from Vladimir Gligorovski, attended Mar 2023: The lesson was good and the prep was easy the teacher was understanding and it was comforting and kind also the place was stylish
  • 5/5 from Natasha Santos, attended Nov 2022: I bought this a s a birthday gift for my partner and we loved it! We learnt a bunch around preparing and cooking seafood on the BBQ, meet some friendly people and had a feast. Everything is included, you get a receipt book after and wine before and after cooking. Was a blast
