LEARN HOW TO COOK OVER THE OPEN FLAME WITH me AT THE OPEN FLAME EXPERIENCE
About The Open Flame Experience
EDUCATION, EDUCATION, EDUCATION!
Welcome to you all, my name is Ross and I am the founder and owner of The Open Flame Experience based out of the beautiful Bridport Dorset.
After many years of working in hospitality both in the UK and abroad, I have found my calling. I want to educate others into my amazing, food filled world through cooking courses, feasts, demos and pop-up events.
Here at The Open Flame Experience I pride myself on offering exceptional open flame cooking experiences.
So, whether you're a chef, avid griller, student, big time foodie or self-confessed, terrible cook, I am here for you.
And, let's be honest, food is just a way of life, so why not make that food great and have some fun doing so.
Come and spend the day with me or join me on one of my feasting events. Roll those sleeves up, get stuck in and be educated in one of the most, if not the most, upcoming and incredible cooking styles: THE OPEN FLAME!
I WANT YOU!
Over the years I have noticed food can be a difficult topic for many, and the education around our food - in my opinion - is struggling to exist in a world of over opinions, fear and trend setting.
Food is NOTHING to be scared of and I feel people should understand more about where their produce comes from, the importance of supporting our farmers and teaching others the simplicity of cooking great food over the open flame.
Our Community
At The Open Flame Experience, I believe that a strong community is essential to success. In doing so, I want to support other local businesses, suppliers, farmers and more.
I believe I am only as good as the produce I use and the people I work with.
OUR VALUES
FARM
FLAME
FLAME
Living in the UK, we have access to some of the best produce in the world.
So, I want to play my part in showcasing and using some of the best produce our local farmers and suppliers have to offer.
My menus will change with the seasons ensuring each experience is filled with variety throughout the year, and will mean that NO course will be the same.

FLAME
The Open Flame!
In my opinion, this is the best way to cook food!
My aim is to pass on my knowledge to others, and along the way, together push the boundaries of open flame cooking.
In my open flame cooking experiences, you will learn all there is to learn about the open flame and how it will be used to cook exceptional food.
FORK
FLAME
FORK
Of course the best part of any cooking experience is getting to eat the food that has been created and cooked by YOU.
This is a guarantee!
Oh and a heads up, you may want to bring some empty tubs with you as there is always more than enough food to take home!
