How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Oare, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
