How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode

How the day works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Autumn and winter barbecues in Burley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:05pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- 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.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Questions from Burley
Is Burley too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Burley?
The closest is Sway station, roughly 5 miles away.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service. China is available on request.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Will children like the BBQ?
Most children head straight for the burgers and sausages, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Let us know numbers for children.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. 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.
Why us?
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
