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 through the time you’ve chosen. In Lane End, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening barbecue is generally in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Travel to Lane End
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What the cooking area needs
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
