What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. A summer barbecue in Flackley Ash stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.

- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
