About the event:
Our 5-hour, hands-on Traeger course is a treasure trove of all things Traeger. Whether you’re a long-time resident of the Traegerhood or are yet to explore the pellet grills made by the people who invented pellet grills, you can expect to be wowed by the versatility, convenience and ease of use that a Traeger provides, and that’s not to mention the fantastic wood-fired flavour!
Courses are limited to 15 guests, spread across three stations of up to five people, and you will have access to the full range of Traeger grills*. On the course you will learn how to tune in your Traeger skills to get the best results and will cook and eat a varied menu of showstoppers, side dishes, snacks, puddings and drinks.
Our school is located in the idyllic Hertfordshire countryside on the banks of a quiet stretch of the River Lea. The school is fully protected from the elements so, come rain or shine, we have you covered (literally!).

A breakfast and hot drink on arrival
2 x drink tokens to exchange for beer, wine and soft drinks
1 x embroidered apron to keep
Food throughout the day, cooked and prepared by your own fair hands

*At least one Timberline, one Ironwood, one Pro and one Ranger – we cannot guarantee all sizes within the range will be available for use.
Please note: this course is tailored towards people who either own a Traeger currently or are interested in learning more about Traegers with a view to purchasing one, but the curriculum is largely applicable to other brands of pellet grill.
Important Course Information – Please Read
Arrival
Please arrive 30 minutes before the course is due to start and go to our barbecue shop to check in. There is plenty of free on-site car parking.
Tickets
Please note: no physical tickets will be sent out.

What to wear on the course
Our Barbecue School is fully covered and heated - rain will never stop play at Riverside! You should, however, dress for the weather on the day. Check the local weather forecast on the day of your course. Please wear long sleeves, long trousers and sturdy footwear. If the forecast is for cold weather wear several layers and a coat. If it’s going to be hot you should still wear sturdy footwear and lightweight long trousers and tops. We have run courses in January with snow outside where everyone was perfectly warm and happy in the Barbecue School, but of course they all wore the appropriate clothing for the weather conditions!
Allergies / Food Intolerances
Wherever possible we will try to accommodate our guests' food requirements. However, if you have any allergies that can cause you serious harm, we advise you not to attend one of our courses. This is because even if we remove those allergens from our menu (which we are happy to do) we simply cannot guarantee that some of the other ingredients on the course have not come into contact with that allergen from harvesting, through production, packaging or transportation to us.
For any intolerances or allergens that do not cause you serious harm please call us a minimum of 14 days before your course so we can discuss the options. We must make it clear though that despite our best efforts we cannot guarantee that every ingredient on the course will free from those allergens for the reasons above.

Booking Tickets
Our courses sell out very quickly, so be sure to get your tickets as far in advance as you can. Remember, the weather is not an issue for us here at Riverside so, barring any extreme weather, the course will always go ahead! If you buy a gift certificate for someone, do advise them to book a date as quickly as possible – even if it is for later in the year!
Ticket Refunds and Different Course Dates
As our courses usually sell out, we buy ingredients for a full course and put into place full staffing resources for every course. For these reasons we are not able to offer refunds or swap tickets to different course dates within 30 days of the event. You are however, more than welcome to transfer your ticket to a friend or family member. All you need to do is call us or send an email with your order number and the name of the person who will be taking your place.
