Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask which items contain gluten
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Plates or china

Do you come out to small places like Hornton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
