About our BBQ catering in Church Norton
In Church Norton, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Typical bookings include big birthday parties and school fairs and summer fêtes, serving pulled pork, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Church Norton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. By late September, sunset in Church Norton is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Think about where the smoke will drift

How we price a catered barbecue
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
When you enquire, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

FAQs for Church Norton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Church Norton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides.
Is the food cooked safely?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
