BBQ at its finest
Bart and his crew not only provide a masterclass in BBQ cooking, the food served and service provided is top notch.
The intimate setting allows guest to truly enjoy the experience, learn and ask questions from a seasoned professional. The fantastic food excites the tastebuds with quality ingredients used.
The menu is thoughtful and you’ll certainly be well fed plus, the free flow of drinks is a bonus. This is an experience that I would go back for and one to share with friends and family. Keep up the good work Bart!

Thanks again Bart, we couldn't have asked for a better day. We will be back for the summer menu !

Amazing...
Great experience with Bart and Greg from start to finish we where blown away. Bart's passion and dedication to his craft was a pleasure to see first hand. Highly recommend.

A gastronomic experience beyond expectation.
I hail from the school of throw a few chops and snags on the BBQ flip them a few times and their done. Oh how ignorant I was? Bart'ss knowledge and enthusiasm on food preparation, cooking methods and presentation was outstanding. The class was a lot of fun, and Bart the perfect host and teacher, provided unique insights from his extensive experience as a chef. All up we learnt how to prepare 9 dishes of various meats, fish and vegetables. We covered, baking, roasting, grilling, smoking , produce selection, seasonings and sauces, all of which we consumed over the 4 ½ hour class held in Barts well outfitted kitchen, and beautiful outdoor garden area.

The class also represents outstanding value and includes the cooking class, amazing food and exquisite wine selections. On completion of the afternoon, we were gifted with an outstanding Hesten Blumenthal chef’s knife (German steel, Japanese wood handle) and other goodies. Highly recommend.
