What else we do in Halfway Houses
How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. In Halfway Houses, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.

- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.

- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.

Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, straight from the grill to the bun.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
