The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. At midsummer, it is light in Carterton until about 9:30pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
