- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Running late? Let us know, and we will work around it where possible.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee

A catered barbecue compared with other options
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’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Our staff serve and clear
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- A full barbecue menu
