BBQ catering in Bramdean, cooked on site

A barbecue in the countryside near Bramdean makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
