What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in South Hayling need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- 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.
