BBQ catering for Flete
BBQ catering in Flete, cooked on site
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. Our chef grills on site in Flete, under cover, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with chicken skewers, beef burgers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Flete, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Is a barbecue good for children?
Burgers and sausages are usually the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Parking near the grill
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Step by step
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Flete is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Include children in your numbers

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
