Cooking this on location was a day to remember for many reasons. There was the view, for a start, then the mayor and all his mates turned up unannounced and so I had to cook it for them, plus the mercury hit 36 degrees – not ideal for firing up a BBQ full of old vine prunings. But, cooked over wood with a hint of treacle on the beef, oh dear, it works well, so, so well. Just remember it’s not a dessert – it doesn’t need a litre of the stuff over it, just a light brushing!
