A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will work around it where possible.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
