What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
