How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Wallend, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.

- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
