How it works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. Evening barbecues in Pains-Hill need a little planning: 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.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
