Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Autumn and winter barbecues in Catmore get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Catmore too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How much choice do we need?
