A barbecue near Highfield
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Highfield is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming

How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
