BBQ catering in East Stratton, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We are often asked to cater relaxed weddings and evening receptions and school fairs and summer fêtes, with pulled pork, sausages and beef brisket.
In a small place like East Stratton, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in East Stratton until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Include children in your numbers
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
