Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How our BBQ catering works in Little Frieth
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and evening wedding food, with beef brisket, halloumi skewers and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Little Frieth makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
After service, our staff clear up, so there is very little left for you to do.

- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Dietary requirements

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. 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.
