Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Somerley need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
