Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing

The process

A summer barbecue in Stone Corner stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:00pm.
