How the day works
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. The smell soon brings people over. Autumn and winter barbecues in South Norwood get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
