How the day works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. For an evening barbecue in Shipton-under-Wychwood, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
