Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
