How it works
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. For an evening barbecue in Frindsbury, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

About the food
Sausages

Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
For event organisers in Frindsbury
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
