Curdridge questions
How far is Curdridge from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Curdridge 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.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a catered barbecue
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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 we need to know
To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SO32 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll work around it where possible.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked on site by our chef, outdoors under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
