The process
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. A summer barbecue in Stroud stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Send final numbers in good time

Looking after everyone

- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

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