BBQ catering in Netherfield

The process

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. By late September, sunset in Netherfield is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
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.
We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Before we arrive

Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
Send final numbers in good time
