A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there is beef, chicken and pork to choose from, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Whether it is fundraising barbecues and leaving parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, halloumi skewers and coleslaw and more.
In a small place like Stanford Dingley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Stanford Dingley is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
