If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Bashley questions
Do you come out to small places like Bashley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you barbecue near the sea around Bashley?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is there anything for vegans?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What we serve, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Ribs make a barbecue feel like a feast, alongside the other meats.
Beef burgers
A burger is the barbecue classic, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space for our vehicle nearby
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book 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
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Bashley until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
Ask for a quote
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
