What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, and salads add freshness.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat, filling and easy to eat.
What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Sunset in Blackness is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
