Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or TN26 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Autumn and winter barbecues in Kenardington get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Let us know about children’s numbers
