- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.

For an evening barbecue in Linchmere, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
