Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Sunset in Frilford is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Include children in your numbers
- Choose the menu a week or so before
