BBQ catering in Dorney, cooked on site

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Planned to your running order
- Our chef at the grill, not you

Dorney questions
Do you come out to small places like Dorney?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a barbecue in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.
What do children generally eat?
Yes, generally: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests

What BBQ catering costs
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.
