The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. In Lewson Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
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 a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Burgers, sausages and chicken, plus ribs, pulled pork and brisket
- Something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
