- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Four Throws hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Hot food straight off the grill
