What BBQ catering costs

- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or OX25 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Lower Arncott
What’s the nearest station to Lower Arncott?
Bicester Village station, about 2.8 miles north-west of the centre.

Is the meat halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
