How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Combe until about 9:30pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- New potatoes
- Beef burgers
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Sausages
- Beef brisket
- BBQ ribs
- Chicken skewers
- Pulled pork

A catered barbecue compared with other options
