★★★★★ ★★★★★ Disappointing Gregory 31 July 2026 The course was cancelled at the last minute with no offer of a refund yet forthcoming. I have written to the school twice with no response.
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Fun learning experience cooking BBQ Merrilee 10 July 2026 A fun, hands on learning experience preparing, being shown all sorts of chef’s tip and tricks, cooking and eating a generous, delicious array of BBQ meat. The chef was an outstanding, professional, enthusiastic, experienced, patient teacher. The setting was great and the entire experience unforgettable. We look forward to participating in the seafood and other BBQ cooking classes. Customer Experience Hi Merrilee, we're delighted to hear you enjoyed this hands on BBQ experience and learned so much from the chef. Thanks for sharing your experience, we hope you enjoy the seafood class too! 20 July 2026

★★★★★ ★★★★★ A bit of a disappointing experience. Michelle 2 December 2024 This class was at the high end of cooking classes in regards to cost offered in Brisbane and we were both anticipating a great afternoon of cooking and pairing beers. Unfortunately the only beer we had was a welcome beer which was neither a craft beer nor premium. It was a very big class with over 12 people. The venue was ok, but we had no access to toilets on the first floor and had to go downstairs for the loo and also if we wanted to purchase a drink. That meant we missed out on part of the class at different times. The chefs were entertaining and knowledgeable. However, there weren’t enough tables for all of us to participate at the same time, and no chairs to sit at to eat apart from a couple of couches away from the deck where the class was being held. The gas bottles were not compatible for all the BBQ’s and while everything else was cooked well, unfortunately by the time we got to dessert the chef couldn’t get a full gas bottle for the BBQ so the dessert was not cooked and inedible. The proteins were of a good quality and the salads were nice, but we felt this was an expensive prawn and steak and 1 beer dinner for two. Whilst we picked up some tips in regards to the cooking and an electronic booklet, we probably would not recommend this as a value for money experience considering the class did not live up to the advertised expectations. My husband loves a craft beer and we spend time at different breweries sampling different beers and ciders. A class offering pairing of beer and food sounded like a fun and different experience. It was a let down. Customer Experience Hi Michelle, thanks so much for your feedback. We are sorry to hear your experience wasn't as expected and we are always looking for ways to improve so I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience so we can discuss it with the supplier of your experience. 5 December 2024
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Not as described. Barry 29 November 2024 Would have expected a BBQ class to involve some hands on cooking. Was just standing around listening, trying small portions of a few very dry cooked meats. Customer Experience Hey Barry, 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 improve. Could you please email me at info@redballoon.com.au, we'd be happy to help. 1 December 2024

★★★★★ ★★★★★ Recommended Lots of great ideas at the bbq cooking class Denise 23 March 2024 The chefs were very knowledgeable and shared some great ideas while serving delicious foods. The venue was disappointing as it was hard to hear the chef due to traffic noise and in the process of some Reno’s.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ The event was over crowded not much 1 on 1. Ian 26 September 2023 The event was overcrowded not much one-on-one learning didn't accommodate for the change in weather. The teacher's language was not for a mixed gender environment experience was fair
