Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
