- The date and time of year

- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
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.
How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. For an evening barbecue in Barton on Sea, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
