Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so there is no need to borrow a grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Boyatt Wood
Which station is closest to Boyatt Wood?
The closest is Eastleigh station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. Short notice is still worth a try: use our quote form.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
