The process
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Autumn and winter barbecues in Filmore Hill get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
