He has a long-standing passion for cooking, adopted by his amateur chef son.

And David Beckham showed fans inside his latest cooking extravaganza, as he enjoyed a night inside one of pal Guy Ritchie’s £50,000 BBQ tents.

The former pro footballer, 47, shared a look inside the epic double tent, which boasts a 12-seat table and BBQ alongside a huge grill.

The ‘double tent’ apparently can host up to 20 guests, however David’s evening appeared to be a more intimate affair as he gave fans a look at what he was cooking.

Sharing a snap of his fish in the grill alongside a hearty portion of vegetables, David revealed that the cooking experience was ‘unbelievable’.

David also shared pictures of the outside of the cooker and claimed it was ‘by far the best fish I’ve ever eaten’, while tagging Guy’s brand Wild Kitchens.

Clearly impressed by the set-up, the father of four said it was a ‘thing of beauty’, and also said ‘it doesn’t get any prettier’.

Fans will no doubt be hoping that David’s cooking efforts are better than his son Brooklyn’s, who was recently forced to defend putting a cork in his Bolognese sauce.

He was blasted by fans and experts have disagreed with his unusual technique.

The 24-year-old eldest son of Victoria and David, who has developed a passion for food, took to Instagram on Wednesday to show off his questionable culinary skills.

He filmed himself trying to cook up a spaghetti Bolognese but he came under fire when fans spotted a wine cork bizarrely sitting in his simmering sauce.

Brooklyn then took to his Instagram Stories on Thursday to hit back at the criticism, insisting it is a method used that helps create a ‘more tender dish’.

However, chefs and experts have claimed that the controversial method is widely contested and is used for squid and octopus dishes, rather than for Bolognese.

In his latest post, Brooklyn defended his technique as he shared a sentence from an article which read: ‘More research ensued and we found information that the addition of wine corks added to the cooking liquid ensured a more tender dish.’

However, the Naples Daily News article adds that most chefs use the niche method for octopus dishes, while pointing out that experts have argued about the technique.

It reads: ‘Experts have argued about this method but most chefs and those who regularly prepare squid and octopus swear that there are enzymes in the corks that ensure a more palatable dish.’

Another article clarifying food myths discusses the claim that putting a wine cork to the cooking water of octopus can stop it from becoming tough.

Tim Hilchenbach, executive chef at LSG Sky Chefs, claimed there was no evidence to support it, adding: ‘There is no scientific explanation that the trick works. If you want tender octopus, you need to use the right cooking technique.’

Brooklyn also shared a snap of himself playing ‘Daddy daycare’ with his new rescue puppy Peanut while trying to cook the spaghetti sauce.

As Brooklyn treated himself to a glass of red wine after throwing a good splash in with the mince and carrots, his followers were mystified why the cork was sitting in the pot.

What’s more, others blasted Brooklyn for holding the tiny pooch in a baby papoose over fire safety fears.

One wrote: ‘There’s a cork in your pot and dog hair about to join.’

Another added: ‘The cork is the secret ingredient.’

A third follower chimed in: ‘Why have you thrown the cork of wine into the pot?’

Another warned: ‘That’s not cute, even though your pup is. You shouldn’t have the dog on you when you’re cooking. Boiling liquid could splash onto his face and injure him.’

When asked by a fan, ‘Are you a chef?’, Brooklyn replied: ‘Nope x but food is my passion.’

Brooklyn has shared his passion for cooking on his social media platform – but often gets a good roasting from critics.

Guy first unveiled his £50,000 luxury BBQ on the first day of the Chelsea Flower Show in September 2021.

The director, 54, designed the outdoor grill to entertain celebrity guests all year round at his home, Ashcombe House near Salisbury, Wiltshire, which he bought with his ex-wife Madonna.

He was joined by his ex-model wife Jacqui Ainsley as he launched the fire-table, which featured in his 2019 action-comedy The Gentlemen, at the Royal Horticultural Society’s first ever autumn show.

The BBQ obsessive, who previously admitted to having over 30 grills, has said the Wildtable is a ‘brand new way to cook, gather and eat’.

In the film, which stars Matthew McConaughey, Hugh Grant’s sleazy journalist Fletcher said: ‘So that heats up your knees and cooks at the same time.

‘Ha, you got to show me how to get one of them.’

Guy and Jacqui often host outdoor meals for friends, including the Beckhams, using the grill on their 1,100-acre estate.

Speaking of his love of barbecues, the film-maker, who also directed Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, said: ‘There’s just something about them. I’m a caveman in many ways.’

His firm, The Cashmere Caveman Co, Wild Kitchens, said the Wildtable works by burning charcoal or wood under a glass lid in the centre with smoke drawn away by a flue.

Prices range from £2,500 for a four-seater to £50,000 for a 12-seater in a kitchen in a dining tent.

He told The Times: ‘Well, we have a company called the Cashmere Cavemen Company.

‘I have a lot of time for cavemen. I like primitive man.

‘But I like the life of a primitive man in a romantic sense – you want to ‘cashmere’ it.

‘You want all the benefits of a very simple, primal natural life, with all the benefits of evolution and technology that we have managed to refine over the past few hundreds or thousand years, so you can have the best version of a natural life.’
