Spend a day in our beautiful woodland with a view of rolling Devon hills. You’ll be chopping logs, preparing fish, meat and vegetables, and learning now to cook on all manner of fire pits, ceramic Kamado Joe barbecues and even in the ground, as well as eating incredible food – we include breakfast, lunch and a feast supper on our communal oak table. We pride ourselves on teaching as many women as men, and we’re perfect for hen and stag nights, birthdays and other special occasions.
This is our signature bespoke barbecue cooking school which covers the full gamut of outdoor cooking. We’ll cover a huge variety of outdoor fire cooking, British barbecue techniques and butchery with Luke, a chef and tutor of over 25 years.
Once you have arrived at High Grange, we’ll start the day with coffee, breakfast and a chat before getting stuck into the morning’s tasks. We’ll start by preparing the outdoor kitchen for the day by firing up the pizza oven, Vulcanus fire pit, Braai master and one or two of our Kamado Joe ceramic barbecues – you will have a masterclass in each, learning about temperature control, smoke as an ingredient and loading and lighting. We’ll then get stuck into prepping lunch and dinner.
Lunch will be a social affair – we’ll sit at our oak table or around the fire and feast on the shellfish or chops that we’ve just grilled. We then continue with our master classes and spend some time on vegetables, sides and condiments to turn our long slow cook into the most incredible meal which we’ll enjoy in the beautiful Devon sunshine overlooking our neighbouring rolling fields.
