The Weber Grill Academy at Wilmslow Cookery School
Welcome to the heart of Cheshire for the ultimate immersive BBQ experience. As an official Weber Grill Academy partner, Wilmslow Kitchen offers a level of culinary expertise that is second to none. Located on the historic site of Elf Mill overlooking the River Dean, our academy provides a relaxed, professional environment where the "Weber Way of Grilling" meets world-class chef training.
Why Our 4-Hour Courses Stand Out
Unlike shorter workshops, our official Grill Academy courses in Wilmslow are 4-hour immersive experiences. This allows for a deeper dive into techniques, more hands-on practice, and a truly relaxed dining experience in our brand-new dining space.
- 4-Hour Deep Dive: More time to master complex techniques, smoke profiles, and multi-course gourmet menus
- Roux-Trained Expertise: Tuition from chefs who have worked alongside names like Gordon Ramsay and Michele Roux Jnr
- Professional Workstations: Fully equipped, bespoke stations for up to 16 people
- Relaxed Environment: A welcoming kitchen overlooking the beautiful River Dean
- New Dining Space: Enjoy your grilled creations in our brand-new, expanded dining area
The Team
The school was founded by the husband-and-wife duo, David and Sarah Bridge. After moving to London in 1990, they mastered their trade under the prestigious guidance of the Roux Brothers, working within elite teams alongside accomplished chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Pierre Koffmann, and Michel Roux Jnr.
Sarah and David have also travelled extensively through Asia, the Americas, and Australasia, honing their skills and picking up a variety of international techniques along the way. Today, they bring this wealth of global experience and culinary passion to the Weber Grill Academy, ensuring every student leaves with the confidence and skills of a true professional.
