Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.

The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Loyterton get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
