Things I’ve learned running a BBQ school — #2 🔥

Stop obsessing over hitting a “perfect temperature.” Real BBQ doesn’t work in absolutes.

10 degrees too hot? 10 degrees too cool? A little fluctuation? It’s all fine. If you’re chasing the exact number, you’ll miss the whole joy of the cook.

BBQ is about feel, smell, look, and a bit of patience. Don’t let the thermometer rob you of the fun.

Just relax and trust that a good BBQ happens in that range.

How do you approach it? Let me know! 👇

Things I’ve learned running a BBQ school — Part 1

Use a meat probe. Absolutely.

But don’t let the probe do all the thinking for you.

Temperature is information, not the whole answer. Learn what the meat feels like. Look at the bark. Notice how the fat is rendering. Feel the resistance when the probe goes in. Pay attention to what’s actually happening on the grill.

The more you cook, the more those little signs start to make sense — and that’s when you stop simply following numbers and start becoming a better cook.

I still use a probe all the time. It’s a tool, not a replacement for judgement.

That’s one of the biggest things I’ve learned from running a BBQ school: use the technology, but learn the craft.

What’s one BBQ lesson you had to learn the hard way? 👇

🔥 The final Wild Grill of the season.

Today we fire up the tipis for one last time this year, and if I’m honest… it’s a bit of a sad one. 😢

The Wild Grill has become such a huge part of what we do here at Millington, bringing great food, fire, drinks and good people together for a proper few hours in the great outdoors.

But there’s plenty to look forward to…

Next year, the Wild Grill gets its own custom-built home here at the farm. 🔥

Same fire, same food, same atmosphere… but a space designed specifically for the experience.

If you’ve never joined us, now’s the time to get your date in the diary.

🎟️ Next year’s Wild Grill dates are already live and tickets are selling.

Head to www.Millingtonhall.com and come and join us around the fire.

As summer ends and autumn creeps in, the evenings get darker, the layers start to come out and there’s something pretty special about gathering around the fire.

Our Meadow events finish next week, but there’s still plenty happening at Millington Hall Farm through the autumn and into winter.

Think great food, warming drinks, live fire, good music and like-minded people, all in the Cheshire countryside.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming social events and have a look at the website for our winter-themed BBQ classes, cookery classes and experiences.

Come and spend a few hours with us. You won’t regret it.

It’s not all smoke and fire at Wild Grill. 🔥

One of the things we love about the experience is celebrating some of the incredible produce and makers we have on our doorstep.

For our charcuterie, we use North by Sud Ouest, a Liverpool-based maker with an incredible passion for what they do and a serious amount of knowledge behind it.

Their charcuterie is exceptional, and it’s a real pleasure to be able to showcase their creations as part of the Wild Grill experience.

Because for us, it’s not just about cooking over fire. It’s about great food, great producers and sharing the stories behind what we eat.

And this is definitely one of those. ❤️

🔥 THE WILD GRILL 🔥

If you’ve never been to one of our Wild Grill Experiences, it’s probably easier to explain what it isn’t.

It isn’t sitting down watching someone else cook.

It isn’t a standard BBQ class.

And it definitely isn’t just four hours of eating.

It’s getting stuck in.

You’ll learn about meat, butchery and where our food comes from, get hands-on with live fire cooking, see a half pig broken down by our butchers, make your own sausages, cook over different fires and grills, taste your way through the day and learn plenty along the way.

There’s the underground fire pit. There’s smoke. There’s charcoal. There’s proper butchery. There’s plenty of food. There’s a few drinks. And eventually, everyone ends up around the long table in the Nordic tipi for a bloody good feast.

And somewhere along the way, a group of people who arrived as strangers usually end up feeling like they’ve known each other for years.

That’s probably our favourite bit.

We’ve had BBQ fanatics, complete beginners, food lovers, couples, friends, families and people who simply wanted to understand a bit more about the journey from animal to plate.

“Steve and the team really made us feel welcome, and their knowledge and enthusiasm made this a day to remember. Brilliant food, great people and an experience we’ll be talking about for a long time.”

A proper day out in the Cheshire countryside. Something to learn from, get involved in, eat your way through and remember afterwards.

Whether you’re a serious BBQ geek, a foodie, looking for a date night with a difference, or trying to find a genuinely different gift for someone you love, The Wild Grill is a pretty good way to spend four hours.

And if you’re thinking about next year…

2027 dates are already live and they’re selling quickly.

So if you’ve been meaning to do one, now’s the time to get it in the diary.

Come for the fire.

Stay for the food.

Leave knowing a whole lot more about both.

This is what a Wild Grill evening looks like at Millington Hall Farm. 🔥

Some absolutely stunning shots from tonight’s session, with the Cheshire countryside putting on a pretty spectacular show as the sun went down.

Good food. Live fire. Cold drinks. Great people. And that view…

There’s something about sitting around the fire, cooking proper food with a group of people you might have only just met, and watching the sun disappear over the Cheshire countryside that makes these experiences pretty special.

And Wild Grill is just one part of what we’re building here at the farm.

We’ve got BBQ classes, live fire experiences, masterclasses, outdoor cooking and plenty more on the way — all designed around great food, learning new skills and having a bloody good time while you’re at it.

If you haven’t joined us yet, what are you waiting for?
