Planning an event in Danaway?
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How our BBQ catering works in Danaway
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We’re often asked to cater leaving parties and street parties, with sausages, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
Near Danaway, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How we price a catered barbecue
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Site access
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, and the rest of the space is yours. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. By late September, sunset in Danaway is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests
