What's the Harry Soo course all about? Does he come the UK?
I'll scout around on the internet to see what info I can find. I would love to do this.

Sorry off-topic.


Toby organised for Harry to come across to hold a couple of bbq101 classes at the BBBQS HQ. I was lucky to get on one last year. Maybe Toby will do it again, don't know. Both are busy peeps.

Wow! Looks like Harry's calendar is full this year. How much was it to go on the course?

This is great, always admire people who follow their dream and if that dream enables you to earn a living then even better.

All the best.

Its a tiny little pub, no more than 40 covers at a time and that suits me just fine. I'm not after making a fortune. If I can pay the bills and do what I love every day then to me that's like winning the lottery.
Until we know its a success I wont be splashing out on a new smoker, I'll be keeping start up costs to a minimum.
I'll continue smoking at home on my trusty GMG like I have for all my catering jobs.
If anyone's interested in following the progress we have a Facebook group set up.

Interesting Times Indeed

Thought I'd give an update.
Its 6 hours till I have to be in the kitchen for opening day. I'm up late reprinting menus as we have had a slight setback....During the gas safety check it was discovered the gas pressure to the upstairs kitchen was slightly less than new regulations allow. So I am unable to use the oven, hob or salamander. No worries I guess. I've catered in the middle of fields I should be able to do this...
Starting with a somewhat stripped down menu, will add items as time allows. I'd love to go complete diner style on it but the probable custom (at least to start with) would probably find it strange and unusual...I can work on that.

Here's what I'm thinking of starting with.
