The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Sunset in Funtley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
About the food
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Sausages
- New potatoes
- Jacket potatoes
- Beef brisket
- Coleslaw
