Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What affects the price in Gay Street

- Distance from us

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
