Your questions about a catered barbecue in Aston
Can you do a barbecue in Fawley Court and Temple Island?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Aston too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
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. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
