BBQ catering in Deane, served hot
Some hosts in Deane pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We are often asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and sports days and close and cul-de-sac parties, with beef brisket, BBQ ribs and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Deane are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
The process
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Deane is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and it does not need a kitchen. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Meat-free choices on every menu

Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel to Deane
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
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’ll suggest a menu.
