A barbecue in the countryside near Horns Green makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. By late September, sunset in Horns Green is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
