Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Spelsbury: your questions answered
How far is Spelsbury from London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Is Spelsbury too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
What do children normally eat?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, and a vegan sausage covers anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Should we have every meat?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Evening barbecues in Spelsbury need a little planning: it is light until about 9:30pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
