Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
What we serve, dish by dish
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Ampfield get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
