We work out each quote from:
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue

Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
About the food
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Fox need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
