How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Ashburnham
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or TN33 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. In Ashburnham, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive

- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Ashburnham hosts choose us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
