For event organisers in Milton Common

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The process

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Evening barbecues in Milton Common need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
We check the cooking spot and quote.
We set up under cover before service.
At food time, we cook and serve.
We clear the serving area and go.
