For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table.
How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. By late September, sunset in Hyde End is about 7:10pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Questions from Hyde End
Is Hyde End too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Hyde End from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
How much choice do we need?
You don’t need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Once your date is fixed, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site at your venue in Hyde End. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
