Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. 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.
