What affects the price in Henwood
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Dietary requirements

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. 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.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- No surprises: everything in writing

Step by step
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Sunset in Henwood is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
