The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Skewers are easy to serve and easy to eat, with salad or in a roll.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Cliftonville, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- 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.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
