How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Horam, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
