About the BBQ School
Polhill BBQ School was created to bring the joy of live-fire cooking to a wider audience, right here in Kent. After years of building up our specialist BBQ showroom and seeing a growing appetite for outdoor cooking, we realised there was a real desire for people to not only buy the right equipment but to learn how to use it properly. The school was born out of that simple idea, to help people gain the skills, confidence and know-how to get the most out of their grill.
Our classes are hands-on, welcoming and packed with practical advice. They are run by a duo who know their way around flame and flavour: the legendary Peter Oakley, also known as @thebeardedfoodieskitchen, and Luke Novell, the cook behind @novycooks. Between them, they bring years of experience, a love of food and an easygoing teaching style that makes every session enjoyable as well as informative.
From learning how to light and control a fire to nailing low and slow techniques or whipping up quick crowd-pleasers, each class is designed to give you usable skills that translate straight to your own garden. You will cook on a range of top-quality grills, including Kamado Joe, Traeger and Gozney, with all ingredients provided.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned griller looking to sharpen your skills, Polhill BBQ School offers a great way to learn, eat and enjoy the social side of barbecue.
