Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
