What happens on the day
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Binsey is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
