Big Green Egg Workshop – November 17th 2024

Join us on Sunday 17th November

Come and enjoy a full day of bbq’ing using the famous Big Green Egg’s. Ross has over 10 years of experience using these bbq’s, and he wants to help you to make the most of using yours. He will let you in on all of his tips and tricks, advice and go-to recipes. You will also briefly cover the OFYR fire pit.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert when it comes to the Egg’s, or maybe you are even considering buying one and would like to know a bit more about them, this day really is perfect for anyone. Using meat and veg from the farm, and local fish and shellfish from the Padstow day boats, Ross has put together a delicious menu ready for an informative, yet fun day where he will show you how versatile the Egg’s really are, and all they have to offer.
