How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Steeple Barton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
