Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat.
How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. In Speedwell, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
