A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Our staff serve and clear
- Add a hog roast alongside
