Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Crowhurst need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
