2027, A New Chapter for Meat Smoke Fire
After much thought and reflection, we have made the decision that from 2027 onwards we will no longer be running our group cooking classes.
Over the last 10 years, our classes have been an incredibly important and rewarding part of Meat Smoke Fire. We’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people, sharing great food, learning together, and building a fantastic community around live fire cooking, a community we will continue to support. We are hugely grateful to everyone who has attended a class, supported us, and helped make the experience so special over the years.
While we are stepping away from group classes, Meat Smoke Fire is certainly not going anywhere. We will continue to run our website and remain one of the UK’s leading Big Green Egg retailers, offering the same great customer service, expert advice, and competitive pricing that our customers know us for.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to focus on new projects and new opportunities for the future. Maybe Nic will even get to write the cookbook you keep asking for!
Private Cooking Classes will continue
Although our group classes are coming to an end, private cooking classes will continue to be available, with Julie still offering bespoke experiences for one-to-one sessions at your home, and private groups. If you are interested in arranging a private class, please get in touch with her — she’d love to hear from you.
Other Cooking Schools We Recommend
If you are looking for group cooking experiences in the future, we would highly recommend the following cooking schools and BBQ experiences:
- Fade Projects in Cornwall - Annie and Eddy are superb hosts, cooking on Big Green Egg and Somerset Grills
- Seasons Cookery School at Lainston House, Hampshire - Big Green Egg classes
- High Grange in Devon - Kamado classes and feasts
- Grill and Ember near Leeds - several styles of grills
Finally, thank you once again to everyone who has been part of our cooking school journey over the last decade. We’ve made so many fantastic memories and friendships along the way, and we’ll always look back on these years with enormous pride and gratitude.
