Step by step

A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Childs Hill stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.

  1. Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
  2. We check it and send a price.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. We serve as your guests come up.
  5. We clear up so you do not have to.

Our BBQ planning guide

What comes off the grill

Sausages

Children usually head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.

What affects the price in Childs Hill

The price comes down to:

  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • Plates or china
  • The date and time of year
  • Travel to Childs Hill

What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Details that help

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the event is

Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs

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

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Mention any guests who avoid beef

We cook as your guests come up, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
