How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Crawley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day

- Think about where the smoke will drift
