A summer barbecue at a club or school in Sunbury-on-Thames is a popular fundraiser, with the grill set up beside the field or car park. Check the club or school is happy first. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
