Customer Reviews
What a warm and friendly welcome, you made us feel like we were all your friends that had been invited to a day of fun, and food. Very informative and we could see the passion you have for BBQ and outdoor cooking, an inspirational pair. Highly recommend to others and we will be back. All the food was spectacular and we have taken a lot of ideas away with us. And as for a pair who don’t like fish, the first thing we will be attempting is the salmon, we were wowed. Thank you both for a day we will remember
Greeted by a proper Belfast accent, made to feel at home among like-minded people, being taught new skills by a pair of amazing women in their own garden! I cannot recommend this course highly enough to those with some skills on the charcoal. Lots of techniques, different approaches to seasoning and new flavours that I’ll take back and apply at home. Here’s to next time!
Sam & Shauna are the perfect duo for a fully emmersive bbq course. We cooked together, learnt about bbq's, tried them all, ate like queens. So many skills shared and we can't wait to put them into action. One of THE best days EVER, so much fun and you need to get booking!!!!
We have just spent an amazing day with Sam and Shauna at their beautiful outdoor kitchen. I couldn’t recommend this experience enough, it is a fantastic opportunity to learn tips and tricks and cook amazing tasty food whilst being guided by the uk’s best outdoor chef.
Thank you ladies for an exceptional day, fabulous food and fantastic company. Highly recommend Jo & rob
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Sam & Shauna. They look after you really well, taught us some great techniques and tips and we walked away full of confidence to try some new things. It was so worth it, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in upping their BBQ game.
