Your questions about a catered barbecue in Hampstead Norreys

Is Hampstead Norreys close to London?

Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.

Do you cook the barbecue on site?

Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.

Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?

Yes. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.

Do you clear up?

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

Do you need anything from us?

Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will check anything else with you.

Should we have every meat?

You don’t need everything. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.

Does rain stop the barbecue?

The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.

About our BBQ catering in Hampstead Norreys

There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For leaving and retirement parties and birthdays and milestone parties, we can cook beef burgers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket for your guests.

Near Hampstead Norreys, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Why book with us

  • Our staff serve and clear
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • A full barbecue menu
  • Meat-free choices on every menu

Take a look at our prices page and our barbecue menu ideas.

The menu, dish by dish

Pulled pork

Pulled pork in a roll with coleslaw is hard to beat.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.

How we price a catered barbecue

There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:

  • Whether you want china
  • Site access
  • Season and day of the week
  • The number of people

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Details that help

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • Where the event is
  • An estimate of numbers
  • Allergies we should know about

Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

How the day works

The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we’ll think about the wind with you. Sunset in Hampstead Norreys is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.

  1. Show us the space.
  2. We confirm it works and send a quote.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. We serve as your guests come up.
  5. We leave the spot tidy.

How to prepare

  • Measure the narrowest gate or passage
  • Think about where the smoke will drift
  • Send final numbers in good time
