What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book with us
- A full barbecue menu
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Our staff serve and clear
- Hot food straight off the grill
Take a look at our prices page or our barbecue menu ideas.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Evening barbecues in Broad Oak need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
