How our BBQ catering works in Ivychurch
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are often asked to cater sports clubs and team events and big birthday parties, with BBQ ribs, beef burgers and halloumi skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Ivychurch makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What affects the price in Ivychurch
Each price is built from:

- Numbers

- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we’ve agreed. Autumn and winter barbecues in Ivychurch get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
