Country barbecues near Well Head are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
