Common questions in Witley

Will children like the BBQ?
Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.

Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Witley. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Witley, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
