- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, so they keep the queue moving alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
