How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Sunset in Ashurst is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
