How our BBQ catering works in Badgers Mount
From the grill come burgers, sausages and chicken skewers, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Typical bookings include work barbecues and sports clubs and team events, serving beef burgers, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
In a small place like Badgers Mount, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
The process
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. In Badgers Mount, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
For anyone avoiding pork or beef, chicken skewers are the answer.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
