How our BBQ catering works in Empshott
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, plus halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. We are frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and fundraising barbecues, serving pulled pork, beef brisket and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Empshott, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the price in Empshott
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Step by step

- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
