Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. By late September, sunset in Berwick is about 7:00pm; in December it is about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- 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 arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Include children in your numbers
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
For event organisers in Berwick
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Questions from Berwick
Can you do a barbecue in Sandling Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Berwick too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How many meats should we choose?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we’ll advise on the rest.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
