Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like

How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
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. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, worked around your serving time.
