BBQ Academy Testimonials

  • Great experience good humour and wonderful food.
  • Looking forward to doing gas plate version and also doing sea food as well . Hopefully get an invitation on both. Overall loved my birthday present. I found as well very helpful on buying my next BBQ as well learnt so much good food and good people . The only thing that was wrong with it is that you didn’t supply my Uber to get home lol . 🤣 See you soon kind regards Gary Turner please keep in touch . Also good luck with your competition
  • Hi, Overall I really enjoyed the course and the food was excellent. I really enjoyed learning new techniques and getting an idea of what type of smoker I need to get. Bert is an expert on BBQ cooking and happy to answer questions. My only suggestion for improvement would be maybe a follow on day from this course where the students do the prep and cooking while being instructed by Bert, a part B if you like.
  • Had a great time at this class! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!
  • I honestly couldn't not ask for anything better. Me and my brother went and everyone was so friendly and funny just good vibes and great food. I honestly couldn't believe the value for money this is it was one of the best days. Me and my brother couldn't believe how much it surpassed our expectations
  • Great day will defo do another day there
