Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
