  • 5/5 from Anil Batra, attended Jul 2024: We had a great time - the class was a Christmas present for my son and I from our wives. We did this in our back garden with very changeable weather but Ben had a pop up gazebo which did a great job we could enjoy both the sun and the rain! Ben our teacher was great very calm and got us involved so we could fully understand the preparation and the cooking of delicious food in a simple way and therefore in a way that one hopefully can replicate with success. All the food was beautiful prepared and enjoyed, from a watermelon pizza to wagyu burgers and a lovely orange desert. Ben demonstrated how versatile a BBQ is which was a joy. I look forward to trying many of the dishes. I believe it was good value and look forward to meeting Ben again at food shows etc
