What else we do in East Garston
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Autumn and winter barbecues in East Garston get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- 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.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
