Your questions about a catered barbecue in Sunningwell
Could you cook in Albert Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Sunningwell too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Parking near the grill
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
