Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. After service, we clear up and pack away. Autumn and winter barbecues in Haslingbourne get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about children’s numbers

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
- Something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
