The process
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Chart Sutton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
