How it works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. For an evening barbecue in Petteridge, think about light: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.

- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
