How the day works
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, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Folkington, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
