Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
The process
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Sunset in Draycott is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- 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.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
