How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a fixed venue menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
