Total fire ban
During a total fire ban, it is illegal to light or maintain a fire ‘out in the open'. This usually includes a bbq under a pop up shelter or even in a garage. It's wise to check with your local council for specific regulations regarding the use of barbecues in outside areas or during total fire bans.
In the event that a total fire ban is declared for the day of your event and you are unable to light your spit, we will credit your deposit toward the spit, charcoal and delivery cost for a period of 12 months from the date of the event.
However, you will be charged for the whole animal.
