How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Autumn and winter barbecues in Kingsmead get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
