What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. By late September, sunset in Hollington is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Beef brisket is slow-cooked and sliced, for a more substantial plate.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is slow-cooked until it falls apart, piled into rolls, frequently with coleslaw.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
