Common questions in Gardner

How long does the whole thing take?

Figure an hour and a half on the grill. Setup happens before you eat, and the chef wipes down the cooking spot before leaving.

Is there a travel fee to Gardner?

$50 for the first 50 miles, then $1 a mile. The booking page shows the exact number for your Gardner address.

How do I pay?

Zelle for the $50 deposit, due 72 hours before the party, and it comes off the bill. Cash or Zelle for the rest on the day. No cards.

Are the kids' plates smaller?

Same food, smaller price: $30 for anyone under 12 on two proteins, with the rice, vegetables and salad.

Is a city backyard big enough?

If a grill and a picnic table fit, it's big enough. Level ground or concrete about ten by ten is the whole requirement.

Do I tip the chef?

If you want to. It isn't built into the price.
