No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.

What affects the price in Hamstead Marshall
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Travel to Hamstead Marshall

- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Any dietary needs or allergies

For event organisers in Hamstead Marshall
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. Autumn and winter barbecues in Hamstead Marshall get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
Getting a price
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
