BBQ catering for your event in Gatton

How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Evening barbecues in Gatton need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
