What else we do in Chawton
How we price a catered barbecue
Here’s what affects the price:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Beef burgers
- Chicken skewers
- Pulled pork
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Sausages
- New potatoes
- Salads
- Jacket potatoes
- Coleslaw
- Beef brisket
- BBQ ribs
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. By late September, sunset in Chawton is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

Is Chawton close to London?

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Summer is the busiest time, but we cook all year, with cover over the grill. Plan shelter for your guests.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
