The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Evening barbecues in Abbotswood need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
