Organising for someone else?

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Where the barbecue can go in Foulford
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A spot where smoke will not blow into the house or marquee

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What else we do in Foulford
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on site by our chef

The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Foulford stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
