We specialise in all things cooking over fire and low & slow smoking, catering for weddings, supper clubs and street food pop ups, private dining and teaching.
We always take pride in the produce that we cook with, working closely with our suppliers and sourcing exclusively high welfare native and rare breed meats.
The way we cook and our founding ethos has led us to be invited to cook at meatopia festival in London, showcasing the way we cook to the masses. I like to use cook lesser-known cuts of meat and utilise as much of the animal as possible by adapting as much of a nose to tail ethos as we can.
“I have spent a large part of my career teaching BBQ to professional chefs and providing consultancy to London restaurants to give confidence to chefs that are unfamiliar with the techniques of cooking with fire.”
Matt has worked with some of the best in the barbecue game and has learnt a wealth of knowledge which he brings to his teaching.
A professional chef for over 14 years, Matt was classically trained at Bournemouth Catering College and has worked his way up through the kitchen, before founding Cross Fire Cooking.

Customer Reviews
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Paul Last2024-04-22I recently did the low and slow cooking course with Matt and can highly recommend it. Matt sets a really calm and enjoyable tone from the outset, allowing you to soak up every word he says, or simply enjoy the food, depending on your disposition. His recipes and advice cuts through the noise that you'll see when trying to research how to get the best results with your BBQ and I left with some really useful tips. Beyond the excellent instruction, the food was fantastic and plentiful. As I wrote at the beginning - highly recommended for anyone wanting to refine their BBQ skills!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mikey Brougeson2024-03-30Utterly utterly fantastic.

It all felt effortless and easy for Matt and Stewart to look after us so royally and the food was absolutely delicious. Tasty, seasonal, wholesome and absolutely top notch, beautifully presented and plenty of it! The guys managed to look after 24 of us calmly and were constantly checking that we were happy and whether we needed any more food. On top of feeling thoroughly spoilt, Matt and Stewart left everything beautifully clean, so that’s was a real treat. We are all desperate to find an occasion to do it all over again…it was perfect! Thank you guys.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Mitch Ravenscroft2024-02-23I have attended an outstanding day with Matt Cross in conjunction with Weber Grills. It was great to have a true expert show the grill off working as intended and to their best. His enthusiasm was contagious, and the cooking was on a different level. I can not recommend his bbq academy highly enough. A must do if you like cooking more than just burgers on a bbq! I am definitely returning, this time with my wife to complete the essentials 2 class and open fire, then who knows. Thank you to Matt for your time and expertise. Can not wait for the next!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Richard Miles2024-02-13Had a takeaway roast here which I pre ordered.

I have been eating @ Cross fire cooking for nearly a year and it nevers disappoints . This has to be the best smoked food in the Uk hands down . Pork ribs , beef ribs , brisket and featherblade all unreal I have also attended a couple of the smoking/bbq classes , ideal for anyone wanting to learn more about smoking meats to the highest quality .Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.James Parker2023-07-30Had a great time and learnt lots.
