Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Step by step
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. For an evening barbecue in North Heath, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Gather dietary requirements early
