Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.

China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

How to plan a catered barbecue

What affects the price in Burford

We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

  • Whether you want china
  • Numbers
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • The date and time of year

Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

What comes off the grill

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

Space, access and the venue

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:

  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
