How it works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. At midsummer, it’s light in Beare Green until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

What BBQ catering costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
