About Jack Rowbottom
From the beat to the barbecue — Jack Rowbottom has carved out a truly unique path. A former Police Officer turned fire-fuelled flavour expert, Jack is the founder of Jack’s Meat Shack BBQ School, one of the UK’s most up and coming BBQ academies for real-deal, no BS, barbecue education.
Driven by a lifelong love of fire-cooked food and the power of community around the grill, Jack has grown his brand from backyard cook-ups into a national platform — sharing recipes, techniques, and stories with thousands through his school, social media, and hit cookbook Jack’s Meat Shack: Beyond the Barbecue, how recipes changed my life. His honest, no-nonsense approach to live-fire cooking has earned him a loyal following, multiple brand partnerships, and a seat at some of the biggest food events in the UK and beyond.
