Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
