Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Water Oakley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
