About the food
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table; have napkins ready.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, so nobody waits for the grill.
Planning the cooking spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. In Ellen's Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
