BBQ catering for Preston Crowmarsh
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. A summer barbecue in Preston Crowmarsh stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
