Padworth questions
Can you do a barbecue in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Padworth?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it is guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is the meat halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
