Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
