He can do everything from all-you-can-eat, pizzas or bbqs for families or groups to a gourmet romantic meal for 2, cooked right on your deck, pizza oven or camp fire and of course you’ll have no washing up to do! You can get as involved in the cooking as much (or as little) as you like, Barney is more than happy to discuss and show you how its done.
