Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
