Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Site access
- How many people are eating
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
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, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Halfway is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or RG20 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
