Can you barbecue near the sea around Stodmarsh?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.

Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.

No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.

We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
