A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Add a hog roast alongside
- An itemised quote
- A full barbecue menu
- Our chef at the grill, not you

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
