The menu, dish by dish
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, a lighter choice than burgers.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Parking near the grill
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Kempshott, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
