The process

- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- 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 clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
