FORMAT

The format for the class is relaxed, fun and instructive. We cover the preparation and cooking of all the items above during the class. The class is mostly based around demonstration, discussion and eating. There will be plenty to eat. We find people prefer to keep their hands in their pockets (!) so we do not allocate participants to specific barbecues in this class – though there will be opportunities to get hands on for those who wish to.

WE PROVIDE

  • Tea or coffee and a sausage bun on arrival
  • A mug of mulled cider for warmth! (other alcoholic drinks are available to purchase)
  • Notes and recipes for you to keep (electronic format)
