How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
