Questions from Kent Street
Do you come out to small places like Kent Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Manor Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Kent Street?
Yes, Kent Street is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Kent Street. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What do children usually eat?
Burgers and sausages are typically the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
