The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Sunset in Twelve Oaks is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests
