Beer Tasting and BBQ Smoking Cooking Class

Simon 20 March 2025

The BBQ cooking class was informative and I learnt a lot about different processes for smoking meats of all kinds. Looking forward to putting what I learnt into practice.

Customer Experience

Not what was advertised

Tim 20 November 2023

When we booked it advertised free appetizers yet there weren’t any. Website also said at the time matching wines, but there was no wine. They advised by email it was unde shade but the small gazebo in the carpark only provided shade for half the participants. Course and food was ok but not worth $150.

Cassie

Hey Tim, thanks for your feedback. Great customer experience is incredibly important to us so we're deeply sorry to hear your experience has fallen short of expectation. We'd love to get a better understanding of what went wrong so we can discuss with the Experience Operator. Could you please email me at info@redballoon.com.au, I'd be happy to help.

Delicious and educational BBQ experience!

John 22 May 2022

I had a great time learning a bunch of basics about BBQing - with a bit of everything covered from seafood, chicken, steak and dessert. It's a very interactive session and i definitely learned a few helpful tips. Would definitely recommend going, the team from BBQ School run a good session!

Terrible experience - not worth the money

Ellie 12 February 2022

What was advertised as a BBQ and Beer learning experience was not that at all. The chef basically just cut up slabs of meat (unevenly), left us to grill our own steaks, and didn’t provide instruction or guidance at all. He talked about the meat a bit but that was it. As for the beers - he asked the venue what they had on tap and just ordered one of everything (there were three beers available). Said beers can complement or contrast with taste (no kidding?), and that was literally the extent of the “matching” experience. Absolutely terrible service and not at all what is advertised.
