Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
