What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
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, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. For an evening barbecue in Little Horsted, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
