About our BBQ catering in Binscombe
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. For close and cul-de-sac parties and leaving and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, beef brisket and sausages.
Near Binscombe, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. The menu makes a big difference to the price: 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.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- An itemised quote
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Our staff serve and clear

How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Binscombe
- Site access
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How the day works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. Evening barbecues in Binscombe need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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 are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access

- Give us final numbers a week or so before
