UK BBQ & Pizza Oven Cooking School

Come and spend the afternoon cooking with your budding chef. Create fresh pasta from scratch, with fresh basil pesto and a scrumptious filling to take home and share with the whole family!

Marcus Bawdon is dedicated to helping BBQ enthusiasts improve their skills. They offer a variety of courses for all skill levels, aiming to boost your BBQ confidence and teach you new techniques. The UK BBQ School provides a supportive and informative environment for you to learn and grow.

Create your own Pizza dough from scratch and make some authentic Neapolitan Pizza, one to enjoy for lunch and one to take home for the family to sample your creations.

Our events take place in natural outdoor settings which may include uneven ground, mud, smoke, open fire, varying weather conditions and low lighting after sunset.

The ingredients are prepared as a group. Some of the dishes are cooked on different grills and then shared to see how everything is done. Others are cooked by everyone. Everyone will be seated communally to eat.

We use Kamado Joe Classic Joe 2 barbecues (similar to the Big Green Egg) and Weber MasterTouch grills for this class.

Many consider Low and Slow and cooking with smoke to be the epitome of barbecue cookery. In this relaxed class at London Barbecue School, we demystify the techniques and tricks of using these methods and of making the most of inexpensive cuts.

In this class, we’ll go through the basics of cooking with charcoal. You’ll learn about the different fuel types for your BBQ, lid down cooking, using your air vents to regulate airflow and temperature control and cooking with different heat zones, either directly over the coals or indirect.

This class will be held outdoors in our Kitchen Garden | Please note that the menu is a sample and is subject to change at the Chef’s discretion | Our cookery classes are non-refundable but can be moved up until 2 weeks prior to the date of the class
