BBQ catering for Thedden
How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. A summer barbecue in Thedden stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
