Common questions in Sulhamstead Abbots
Is Sulhamstead Abbots close to London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Sulhamstead Abbots too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Will children like the BBQ?
Normally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
