How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Lowford is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Send final numbers in good time
