- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.

How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Upham get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
