Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Where the barbecue can go in Ifield
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A clear way in from where we park

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

Things that change the price:
- The number of people

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers

Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Common questions in Ifield
Could you cook in Target Hill Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Will children like the BBQ?
Typically, yes: simple food in a roll suits most children. Give us a rough number of children.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What meats do you barbecue?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Do you offer halal meat?

Do you clear up?

- It starts with 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.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
