Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What BBQ catering costs
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Duddleswell
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. Evening barbecues in Duddleswell need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
