A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

FAQs for Hedgerley
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Hedgerley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Is the meat halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Will children like the BBQ?
Generally, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Tell us how many children to expect.
How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we time our arrival around your serving time. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Evening barbecues in Hedgerley need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How we price a catered barbecue
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
