The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. In Rusher's Cross, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare

About the food
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, a lighter choice than burgers.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
