How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Black Bourton get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
