Really fun day. Learnt lots and made some great BBQ food. Hands on but a relaxed and well run day – thanks Jackie and Dave.

Would recommend it to any one looking to move on from steaks and burgers!

Went for my birthday and had an amazing time . Lovey people and learnt so much I highly recommend this course to anyone

I had a fantastic day with Jackie and Dave at the backyard BBQ workshop. From the bacon roll and coffee to start right through to the immense ribs, steak and chicken it was a great experience with Jackie taking the staring role explaining and demonstrating how to make delicious food on a BBQ, both her and Dave’s relaxed and calm manor made the process of cooking feel effortless and relaxed. The added bonus of actually eating the food prepared is out of this world (you even get sent home with leftovers!) I have already recommended them to friends and family. This truly is the only BBQ workshop worth visiting, I’m sure that I’ll be returning for another day soon!

Had a great time at next level workshop. The course was a gift from good friends whom I treated to some of what I learnt the following weekend. Porchetta with Hasselback potatoes followed by mixed berry crumble. A great success. Looking forward to attending when other workshops are available. Have recommended to many friends.

We went on the American workshop and would like to thank Jackie and Dave for such a great day.

Good size group of people and fantastic dishes cooked, with Jackie delivering the course in a friendly, user friendly and hands on manner.

Jackie is incredibly knowledgable about all things BBQ related, be it hot and fast, low and slow. She explained everything brilliantly, offered advise and answered anything we wanted to know.

Apart from showing us the best way of cooking many dishes she also showed us tips on lighting and using everything from gas grills, kamado style grills, smokers and kettles.

Would 100% recommend one of her courses and we look forward to going back on another one soon!

After all the cooking was done we got to try all the food and sat down all together with drinks, which was a great end to the day. We also ended up with boxes full of food to take home.

Many thanks to both Jackie and Dave for a great day.

What a great day, Jackie was amazing, her passion for BBQ was immense and a great knowledgeable chef to backed up by great support and banter from her partner Dave. A great setup and very well organised. Learnt loads and some great tips and pointers which I hope to put into practice. Who would if thought you could do such an amazing pulled pork in 4 hours. Thanks for a fun and tasty day out.

met with a bacon sandwich and even better and better as the day went on.

Has totally changed my approach to BBQing (and the BBQ I will now buy) Very very well taught in a fun atmosphere and lovely surroundings.

PS don’t undercall the amount of containers you need to take for your left overs, Jackie and Dave do not skimp!

I learnt so much from Jackie, a brilliant teacher, with the help from Dave who keeps you entertained throughout. You may think you are good at BBQ cooking but this brilliant day out will teach you loads more and make you look like a real professional when you cook at home. Our food was amazing and I cannot recommend this course enough.

Great day over at Jackie’s today. Lovely atmosphere and learnt so much about what to do and what not to do. Would recommend to anyone looking to up the anti in there BBQ skills

Hi Jackie, just wanted to say a big thank you to you and Dave for a fantastic experience today. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, we ate great food, laughed and learnt a lot. We really do appreciate how much work goes into running events. Lorraine is currently sitting at home reading your book and we’;re planning what to cook for tomorrow! The course has really inspired us to do more cooking.

Thanks again and hope to see you in the future.

kind regards, Chris and Lorraine

What a brilliant day, Jackie and Dave were fantastic hosts and made the day thoroughly enjoyable.

Jackie has a wealth of knowledge and Dave is running around in the background making sure everything is where it needs to be. We learnt so much today and then had an amazing feast afterwards.

We will definitely be back!

Absolutely brilliant day with Jackie and Dave who were fantastic hosts. Found the whole experience very inspiring and I learnt so much. Now just have the problem of persuading my better half that we need two more barbeque/smokers. Would really recommend!

What an amazing day… we learnt so

Much … it was great fun Jackie and Dave were amazing hosts .. informative and welcoming … we will be back!!

A thoroughly inspirational day celebrating wonderful barbecued food for Christmas. It was hugely enjoyed by all of my work team colleagues who all learned a lot, as did I! Jackie is a wonderfully down to earth but knowledgeable teacher, and was admirably assisted by Dave who repeatedly dashed out to fetch necessary bits and pieces despite the torrential rain outside.

A fabulous and belly filling experience – we are already discussing our next booking!

Great day and lovely food. Interactive fun and very welcoming hosts. Jackie Definitely BBQ Queen. Both Jackie and Dave were fun and the passion and knowledge came through.

Jackie is a fabulous cook and teacher. I learned and ate so much!

Jackie’s BBQ Workshop is truly England’s best-kept secret for barbecue enthusiasts (even those who don’t know they are yet!). From the moment you step into her world, you’re greeted with a warmth and friendliness that makes the whole experience feel like a gathering of old friends. Jackie’s knowledge of barbecue is nothing short of impressive, effortlessly shared as she guides you through this cooking artform.

Her humour, as dry as a barbecue rub, adds a delightful spice to the learning experience. It’s not just about the techniques; it’s about the joy and passion behind every barbecue dish. The food is as good as it gets. I never thought a Christmas dinner could be so flavourful and succulent with a Turkey, but Jackie proved me wrong. It was a revelation (I won’t spoil the secret on here – book it and find out yourself!)

The environment of the workshop is every BBQ fan’s dream, equipped with everything you need and more. It’s the perfect setting to learn, experiment, and enjoy the fruits of your labour with a nice cold drink (or warm mulled wine). I do need to mention her cookbook – a treasure trove of recipes and tips that I find myself returning to time and again, clearly written by her, and all the recipes are doable without finding some weird spice that other cookbooks may ask for!

I left feeling empowered and excited to cook my Christmas dinner outside on my now not-so-shiny Traeger. Jackie’s BBQ Workshop is more than just a class; it’s an experience that ignites a passion for barbecue in your heart. Highly recommended for anyone who loves good food, great company, and the art of BBQ.

Really well worth taking this course especially as we got to take away about three days’ worth of tasty BBQ food. Jackie is an excellent and friendly teacher and there was just the right amount of watching and doing. Will more than likely try one of the other courses on offer.

Love it, great knowledge and great food.

Really nice people who really know their stuff, Jackie was world champion after all! I learned so much and the food was delicious. Can’t wait for the sun to come out again!
