How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Coleslaw is the natural partner for pulled pork, while salads keep it light.
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, in a roll or with sides.
Questions from Cote
Can you do a barbecue in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Cote too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Do you need anything from us?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, 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 you get with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
