How our BBQ catering works in Colt's Hill

The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. At midsummer, it is light in Colt's Hill until about 9:15pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
