How we price a catered barbecue
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
The menu makes a big difference to the price: 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.

Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What meats do you barbecue?

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
