How our BBQ catering works in Hawthorn Hill
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. Whether it’s Fêtes, fairs and sports days and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers and more.
Country barbecues near Hawthorn Hill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What BBQ catering costs
Things that change the price:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
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. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. At midsummer, it is light in Hawthorn Hill until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
