How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We’ll place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Sunset in Walton on the Hill is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
