What the cooking area needs
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
