BBQ catering for your event in Church Town
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Church Town: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Church Town, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Church Town
- Numbers
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The address or postcode
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. By late September, sunset in Church Town is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
Ask for a quote
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
