Hi all,
Anyone at last years AR will (hopefully) testify that despite slightly adverse weather conditions, and with the help of the brolly dollys, AND Viney and BBC would got the supplies in, myself and Saeed managed to cook up a storm.
Well I am volunteering my services again this year, only going to be slightly more organised!
I have managed to secure a decent size grill and want to offer the following...
So you don't have to worry about feeding yourselves on Saturday night I will cook for the group. For the princely sum of 5 of your english pounds you will get all the burgers, sausages etc you can eat.
I promise, no sending people out on midnight raiding runs to find more baps this year, there will be plenty to go round!
Don't worry Bear, we will try and accomodate any vegetarians as much as possible as well.
So, firstly I need to know if this is something you would be interested in. Please vote accordingly and if its something that the group would like I'll make the arrangements.
Anyone wondering about my credentials should hop over to Throttle Monkeys site. I cooked for their fest last year and they want me back again this year....
Oh, and any monies left over will go behind the bar so no profit making either.
Think that about covers it. If you have any questions fire away!
Devil Biccy has kind of agreed (in principle ie he doesnt know it yet!) to help cook so that side is covered!
Thanks
Gordon

Ah gotcha. I spoke to Viper and he said Fizz was organising a grill, just guessed it was his own.
Fizz did say we would be able to use it, but fear not i have a big BBQ i can bring as well so we will have enough cooking space for all of us :smt038

Mine is available for communal use, i just didn't realise he had offered it for a big organised thing, wait till he gets home.:D I'll sort out all the charcoal and stuff if you like, make sure we have plenty for all and make sure we have all the tools and tongs.

Sounds like a plan on the charcoal front. Means we can buy more food from everyones ?5. Gonna bring my own tools for the (un) organised bbq. You know how it is, like to use your own kit and all that.
Partly my fault too but no matter. Viper, if you can sort us a grill for people who want to pay and not cook then I'm happy to cook for them.

We will provide the BBQ's and Charcoal and will leave the rest to you.
We can point you in the direction of the local supermarkets etc so you can get all the supplies.
Good Luck and may the Flames be with you ;)

Oh and On my part, as attendance, to early to say, but if I attend then I'd be more than happy to shell out for a saturday night BBQ.
Cheers Mark.

I'll happily lend a hand with the cooking and i also am happy to bring my BBQ along if Mr Big Ape is happy to carry it in his van for me. I'll PM him and see what he says.
This is what my barbie looks like. http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/skins/popups/scene7.jsp?skuId=9701867 so ther is planty of room on it.
Sorry, not kept up wth this thread but if this is a good idea then let me know and i'll ask the Ape to squeeze it in. The legs come off etc so its actualy quite small in transit...erm about the size of half an oil barrel actually.

Thanks for the offer Spidey, but I think we should have enough with the 2 grills being provided. No need for you to drag yours all the way from the smoke. Use the room for extra beer or something.

OK, I am going to cater for about 50 to allow for stragglers.
My plan is to do the shopping online before I leave home and have it delivered to the site on the day. This means I will be shelling the money myself first.
A bit of a risk I know but I won't have time for shopping and the ride out on Saturday.
Besides anyone who doesn't pay can expect a visit during the evening from a close personal friend of mine...
http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:w6mIimR20Pn-rM:http://simpsonspedia.net/images/thumb/a/aa/William_Williams.png/500px-William_Williams.png
If you have any special dietary requirements, nows the time to shout. I'm planning a basic bbq menu, from experience people don't want loads of fiddly stuff they just want simple grub and lots of it and thats what I intend to deliver.
I can do some veggie stuff if enough people request it, but it will be things like quorn burgers and they will all be cooked using the same utensils and on the same grill as the meat.
Thanks
Gordon
Burgers, burgers, and burgers please. Possible a bit of cheese on the side.
That's me sorted :-)

06-05-08, 06:42 PM
Umh... delivery to the campsite could be tricky if theres nobody there to receive it.
Mate, theres a 24hr Tescos literally 10 minutes from the campsite why not go and get it from there when we get back or alternatively ask somebody with a car who isnt going on the rideout to get it for you during the day ??
Just an idea...

Thats works. Didnt realise there was one that close. OK I'll get as much moola collected on Friday night and I can get either Billy, or Tara as she offered, to drive me up when we get back from the ride out.
Only problem is if its a nice weekend they will be cleaned out. Hmm, perhaps I'll drag someone up there early Saturday instead.
Any volunteers for an early run Sat am?:chef:
Thanks for the info btw mate.
fizzwheel
06-05-08, 08:05 PM
If Tesco are out of stock, then theres also a Morrisons 2 minutes from Tesco's or theres an Asda about 5 minutes away from Tesco's so if Tescos are out you can nip to one of the others to get what you need.
I cant imagine you're going to be the only one with shopping requirements I expect somebody will want to do a beer run as well.
Just come and find me on friday / Sat morning and I'll give you directions its easy to find. its one of the reasons we picked that campsite as the shops are not far away...
i'll be about if you want to get it delivered or i can always run you over to the supermarket whichever is easiest

Tara also knows where the supermarkets are in Yeovil as her and Falc came to stay with me a liz a while ago. Mind you will she get lost between the campsite and Yeovil, I mean its only 4 miles away ;):D
BBC also knows where Morrisons is.
I'll run off a few multimaps that we can give out with all the useful places in Yeovil itself and I'll make sure that I have a few to hand for those that need them.

Thanks for the offer. As it stands me and Tara were off about 8am on Saturday for all the supplies.
But with the ride now due to start at 10 it will probably be easier if you could go during the day so I'm not rushing around in the morning.
Hope you won't be offended if I write you a list as I kind of know in my head what I need but won't know quantities until everyone ante's up on the Friday night.
