What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Bishopsgate until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
