About our BBQ catering in Epwell
Some hosts in Epwell pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. For family celebrations and cricket, football and rugby club days, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork for your guests.
Country barbecues near Epwell are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What happens on the day
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Epwell stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.

What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will 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 is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Epwell questions
Is Epwell too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater in Epwell?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
What can we have at a catered barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
