A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Our chef at the grill, not you

For event organisers in Clifton Hampden
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
