Check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. We do have shelter from rain but are somewhat exposed to the elements - so warm clothes if the weather is inclement, hats/sunglasses if sunny. We provide recipes and notes for everything we cover in classes, but it can be useful to bring a pen to annotate them.
Do you sell gift vouchers?
Yes, we can arrange private hires of London Barbecue School during our summer season, details of which can be found
We would love to run classes all year round, but it is not currently economical for us to stay open in winter. This said, we are able to offer private classes at your location - if this is of interest please
Photographs and short videos are great, as long as they are not for commercial use. We especially like it when people share and tag us (@LondonBBQschool)! If you are taking photos please ensure that it doesn't interfere with the class's progress. Unfortuantely we can't let you film the whole class, or large parts of the class; we do provide detailled notes and recipes so this should not be necessary.
Is there parking at London Barbecue School?

Feedback from London Barbecue School class customers:
"Alex and Kate loved the day. They thought the knowledge of the chefs was outstanding, the day was really great fun, they learned a lot and they said it was the best BBQ food they’d had outside of the US! Alex has travelled a lot and is a huge fan of this style of cooking. Thank you so much again for your help and please pass on our congratulations and thanks for making it such an amazing day..."
"I thoroughly enjoyed the day. The right number of people too. Having 2 working together was very good. You made it all look so straightforward. Weather permitting I will be doing the chicken wings this weekend. My son's favourite."
In winter we operate reduced office hours (which helps keep class prices down) - if you do not get an answer please leave a message or email instead.
