Questions from Chestnut Street
Is Chestnut Street too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Chestnut Street close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Send us your details through our quote form.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What BBQ catering costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A clear way in from where we park
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then it’s a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Chestnut Street, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
