What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Plates or china
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Flimwell
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Flimwell from London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Flimwell. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up. China is available on request.
How do you handle food safety?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can you cater in Flimwell?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
Why choose BBQ catering in Flimwell?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Flimwell hosts choose us
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Six meats to choose from
- An itemised quote

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
