How we price a catered barbecue
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

Step by step
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in Binfield Heath, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
