Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Cooked on site by our chef

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Parking near the grill
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
