All we need is a level spot outside for the grill. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered cooking spot.

In Portsmouth, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
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, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Is a barbecue right for you?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?.

Portsmouth questions
How many meats should we choose?
Not normally. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Portsmouth. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
