About the food
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. In Holton, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
