How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Numbers
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
