How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Kettle Corner need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day

- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
