Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
About our BBQ catering in Catherington
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. For garden parties and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we will put together a menu of sausages, pulled pork and beef brisket for your guests.
A barbecue in the countryside near Catherington makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you do barbecues out of season?

The menu, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, with salad or in a roll.
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, in a roll or on a plate.
How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Autumn and winter barbecues in Catherington get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
