Not Making the Most of Your BBQ or Outdoor Kitchen?

Let The Wilmington Chef Show You How It’s Done.
Unlock the full potential of your outdoor cooking setup with immersive, hands-on training in the art of fire and smoke.

Guided by expert instruction, you'll cook using top-of-the-line equipment, mastering techniques like grilling, smoking, low & slow, hot & fast, and much more. This is more than a class; it’s a culinary experience designed to inspire confidence and elevate your BBQ game.

​

Expect rich flavours, real skills, and plenty of indulgent bites along the way.

Our purpose-built BBQ school is set within the tranquil grounds of our home, nestled among the trees in the peaceful setting of Joydens Wood, Wilmington — a unique and inspiring experience to learn, cook, and connect.

​

From Backyard Enthusiasts to Professional Chefs – Everyone's Welcome!

We offer bespoke, small-group BBQ masterclasses designed for everyone from passionate home cooks to seasoned professional chefs. Our tailored experiences are perfect for corporate team-building events, executive away days, private group bookings, and sophisticated stag or hen gatherings – all delivered with exceptional attention to detail and culinary excellence.

About Me

My name is JC aka The Wilmington Chef

I’m a professional chef with over 30 years of experience and have spent the last 5 years running live fire cooking events. Now, I’m excited to share my knowledge and expertise to help grow and support our incredible fire BBQ community.

I’m passionate about teaching the art of cooking over fire, using a wide range of BBQs and pits. Whether it's a beginner's course, advanced BBQ techniques, street food, Texas-style BBQ, or even fire-based fine dining, I aim to inspire and educate at every level.
