Humble Beginnings
Jack's Meat Shack started with nothing more than a passion for cooking over fire and a simple belief that great BBQ should be about more than just food.
What began as weekends spent experimenting with charcoal, smoke and live fire soon turned into a lifelong obsession with mastering traditional barbecue techniques from around the world.
It's our belief that from low-and-slow American barbecue to Argentine Asado, every cook is another opportunity to learn, refine and share the experience with others. Every day is a school day after all.
More than just a BBQ school
Today, Jack's Meat Shack has grown into one of the UK's leading live-fire cooking schools, welcoming everyone from complete beginners to seasoned pitmasters.
Our classes are designed to be relaxed, hands-on and packed with practical knowledge, giving you the confidence to recreate every dish at home.
Sharing the Fire
Alongside our public classes, we offer private BBQ experiences, corporate team-building events, one-to-one tuition and bespoke masterclasses tailored to every level of experience. We also provide live-fire catering for private celebrations, weddings and corporate events, bringing the theatre and flavour of cooking over fire directly to your guests.
Our expertise extends far beyond the grill. We stock a carefully selected range of premium BBQs, smokers and outdoor kitchens, helping customers create the perfect outdoor cooking space at home. Through our in-house content creation and digital media services, we work with leading manufacturers and retailers to produce professional photography, recipe development, video content, social media campaigns and retailer training that inspire people to get outside and cook. No matter the project, our mission remains unchanged: to share our passion for live-fire cooking, bring people together around incredible food and help create memories that last long after the fire has gone out.
