Hi

We are off to Sherwood Centre Parcs this weekend, want to take my Cadac gas BBQ, can't see anything on the website saying you can't take them but read something elsewhere saying you can't and you have to use disposable BBQ's on the racks provided at each property. The website talks of the racks/disposables but nothing saying you can't take your own.

Anyone have any experience of this? Planning to take it anyway but useful to see if anyone has encountered any issues.

Any other advice for the place? Big family get together and first time there, wouldn't have been my first choice but going to make the best of it. Already have plans to ride Sherwood Pines (not ridden there in over 10 years).

Realistically no one is going to check so you'll probably be ok.

Maybe you should do it round the  back.

Spit roasts are fine.

Depends how anal you are about the rules.

I'd be happy to take one.

You'll be fine,just keep it on the patio next to the brick built BBQ. What really boils their piss are guests burning crap in the wood burning stoves inside the lodges.

are the bbqs suitable for just chucking coal onto, or is a disposable dohicky needed?

you have to use disposable BBQ’s on the racks provided

IIRC, this is as opposed to using disposable barbecues on the grass outside the property and leaving dirty great scorch marks behind.

The BBQ stands are just racks. O.K for disposables or placing a small BBQ on such as a Weber Smokey Joe etc. It has been known for guests to put disposables on the patio tables or plastic drain lid covers, melting them in the process.

Or in the case of our neighbours at a similar place last week, on the picnic table next to the lodge.
