How we price a catered barbecue

Here’s what affects the price:

  • Crockery choices
  • Travel to Burgh Hill
  • The date and time of year
  • Access to the cooking area

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What to tell us

To get the best quote, send us:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Allergies we should know about
  • Your date and serving time
  • Anything the venue has asked for

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Working with your venue

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Tell us about children’s numbers
  • Request gluten-free rolls

We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Questions from Burgh Hill

Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

How far is Burgh Hill from London?

About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Will guests know what’s in each dish?

Yes, ask us to label the food. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Do you cover Burgh Hill?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?

The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.

What’s on your BBQ menu?

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.

Do you bring plates and clear up?

Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.

What if it rains?

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

What happens on the day

We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. For an evening barbecue in Burgh Hill, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. You get a suggested menu and a price.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. Hot food is served through the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
  • Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Getting a price

Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.

Before you choose a spot

  • A spot well clear of buildings
  • Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
  • A level lawn, patio or hard standing

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
