SPECIAL CLASSES
This is where I share one-off special classes - these classes don't run every season. If there's something you particularly want to learn drop me a line to enquire!
Fish and Seafood Over Fire
A day dedicated to all things fish and fire - how to cook delicate fish, how to tackle seafood, fire cooked paella, plus rubs, butters and sauces to elevate your fish to the next level of flavour!
Vegetables Over Fire
As the author of a bestselling book on veg and fire, Charred, showing people how to make the most of vegetables is one of my favourite things. This class is suitable for vegetarians (there will be dairy, but vegans can be catered for) but what I really delight in doing is showing hardcore carnivores how amazing grilled vegetables can be. If you think barbecue is just about meat, come and have your eyes opened to a rainbow of colour, texture and taste.
Introduction to Smoking
What is smoking? What's the difference between hot and cold smoking? Which foods benefit from cold smoke, and which foods like it hot, what wood to choose. This class will get you started on an addictive smoking journey. Low and slow meat, some basic sausage making, curing for cold smoking and rubs and brines for hot smoking.
New classes are always announced via my newsletter, and you can sign up on my homepage. You can buy class gift vouchers in my shop.

Please note:
Class sizes are small to allow for a friendly, hands-on learning environment so come prepared to get stuck in and cook. The Bristol Fire School is located in my garden a couple of miles from Temple Meads Station in Bristol city centre. There is plenty of parking on the street for those that travel by car. The exact location will be confirmed to each student a few days before class. Unless the weather is extraordinarily wild, classes go ahead come rain or shine so please come with warm layers, waterproofs if necessary, and close-toed shoes.
Cancellation Policy:
Classes can be cancelled for a full refund up to 3 weeks before the class, you can also reschedule your class to another date providing there is room. If you cancel with less than three weeks notice you will get a refund or be able to reschedule if I am able to fill the place with someone else. With enough notice I am often able to fill places but if you cancel at the last minute its pretty tricky.
