How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Broad Tenterden, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
