How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. For an evening barbecue in Little Chart Forstal, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
