For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, with a menu planned around your guests. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- A full barbecue menu
- Serving and clearing done for you

How we price a catered barbecue
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- The number of people
- Site access
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

What comes off the grill
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Beef burgers
Our chef grills beef burgers to order, hot off the barbecue.
Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Buscot stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day

- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
