I’m Alex, owner of NWGrilling, a BBQ school based on the Wirral in the North West of England. BBQ has been a part of my life since I was a kid, watching my dad cook up burgers and sausages over charcoal at the summer fair. He quickly earned a reputation for his grilling skills, and at home, BBQ became a special meal we all looked forward to. Both of my parents had a deep love for food, especially when it came to sharing it with family and friends. I feel incredibly lucky to have so many memories gathered around a dinner table, enjoying delicious food together.

Over time, BBQ turned into a real passion for me, and I absolutely love hosting family and friends, cooking up food that brings comfort and puts smiles on everyone’s faces. With over 15 years of experience cooking over charcoal and live fire, I’m thrilled to share what I’ve learned and help create those same memorable moments for you.

My proudest achievement so far is being part of the Kamado Joe Firesquad as a brand ambassador. I dreamt of owning my very own Kamado Joe for years and to be working with the industry leading brand for Kamado style ovens is a real honour.
