Your questions about a catered barbecue in Norleywood
Can you barbecue near the sea around Norleywood?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Norleywood too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is a barbecue good for children?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who does not eat meat. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, with salad or in a roll.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
