BBQ catering for your event in Kent Street
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Kent Street: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. On the menu are sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs, and we’re frequently booked for birthdays and milestone parties and leaving and retirement parties.
Country barbecues near Kent Street are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
