What BBQ catering costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Friday Street
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- An estimate of numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
What we serve, dish by dish
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Friday Street until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
