The process
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. At midsummer, it is light in South Bank until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- 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
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
