Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Ask which items contain gluten
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
