Not a good experience

Maureece 3 February 2025

Not a good experience. Is held in the worst location in Sydney. No parking near the venue and took me over 40 minutes to find a car spot. When I found a car spot the venue was 2km away and i was running a half hour late. I was not able to physically walk to the venue because of a pinched nerve in my back. They would not provide a refund or a rebooking. Would not recommend to anyone.

Customer Experience

Hey Maureece, 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 us at info@redballoon.com.au, we'd be happy to help.

The class was relaxed, enjoyable and informative

Anthony 15 July 2024

The whole experience started on arrival where the staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Even with a full class, the head chef put us at ease and explained everything clearly. No pressure, you could really do as much or as little as you wanted. At the end of it all we had a feast fit for the king. Great experience, great food, great skills. Thank you

There was some basic BBQ information provided

The venue was well equipped, and the class was conducted in a very friendly manner. There is room to provide more than basic information (tips and tricks) about managing difficult cooking techniques and preparing meats and vegetables for different BBQ styles.
