West Studdal questions
Do you come out to small places like West Studdal?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you barbecue near the sea around West Studdal?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Will children like the BBQ?
Generally, yes: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.

Step by step

In West Studdal, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
