About our BBQ catering in Chalton
Some hosts in Chalton pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We serve halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and beef burgers, and we are regularly asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and engagement and anniversary parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Chalton makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it’s 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. Sunset in Chalton is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Include children in your numbers
Getting a price

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Six meats to choose from
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
