How the day works

We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in North Cray is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
  4. At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Let us know about children’s numbers
  • Let us know about tight access
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Add a dietary question to the invitation
  • Ask which items contain gluten
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades

The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The menu, dish by dish

Beef burgers

Sausages

Cooked through and browned on the grill, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.

North Cray questions

Is the food cooked safely?

Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.

Do you leave the area tidy?

We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.

Our BBQ planning guide

What the cooking area needs

Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:

  • Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
  • Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

North Cray is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
