Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Travel to Crowborough
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.

Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?

Yes. We cover London and the South East, Crowborough and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate.

- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. For an evening barbecue in Crowborough, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
