Planners, venues and businesses

Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Coursehorn?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Should we have every meat?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
