How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. In Chipping Norton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally 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.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Name a contact for the day
