What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The date and time of year
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.

What if it rains?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What you get with us
