Fire School FAQs

Everything you need to know before coming to Bristol Fire School.
If you can't find the answer you're looking for, just get in touch.


WHERE IS BRISTOL FIRE SCHOOL?

Fire School takes place in Bristol, a couple of miles from Temple Meads station. The exact address and joining information will be sent to you before your class. There is free on-street parking nearby.


HOW BIG ARE THE CLASSES?

Classes are deliberately small and hands-on, with a maximum of 10 people. Everyone gets plenty of time cooking, asking questions and getting involved.


DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE?

Not at all. Some people arrive having barely lit a barbecue; others have been cooking over fire for years. The classes are designed to build skills and confidence rather than test what you already know.


WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We cook outside, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. Layers are always a good idea. We'll provide aprons.


WHAT HAPPENS IF IT RAINS?

We cook outside in pretty much all weather. Bristol being Bristol, rain is always a possibility! Unless conditions are genuinely unsafe, the class will go ahead, so bring suitable layers and waterproofs if the forecast looks wet.


DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING?

No specialist kit. Everything you need for the class is provided. [We can check whether you want to mention containers/notebook/etc.]


WHAT ABOUT DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?

Tell us about any dietary requirements or allergies when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate them. [This one needs your exact policy — particularly severe allergies/cross-contamination.]


DO WE EAT WHAT WE COOK?

Absolutely. Every class finishes around the table with a generous feast of everything we've cooked during the day, with time to eat, talk and go back over what you've learned.


CAN I COME ON MY OWN?

Absolutely. Lots of people do. The classes are small, relaxed and sociable, and everyone cooks together throughout the day.


CAN I BUY A CLASS AS A GIFT?

Yes. Gift vouchers are available for Fire School classes, so the recipient can choose their class and date later.

HOW DO GIFT VOUCHERS WORK?

This is where I'd explain your actual system clearly: valid for 12 months, how the recipient redeems it through Becky, whether a £175 voucher can be topped up for Low & Slow, etc. Let's get this wording right once we confirm those details.


CAN I CHANGE OR CANCEL MY BOOKING?

We understand that plans change. Our cancellation and rescheduling policy explains the notice periods and options available. Please read our full Terms & Conditions for details.
