About our BBQ catering in Drayton
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it is big birthday parties and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Drayton, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Served at the time you choose
