Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Kingswood need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send 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 clear the serving area and pack away.
