Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A green light from whoever owns the site

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china

All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so there’s no need to borrow a grill.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
What happens on the day
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Hale Street get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
