Lower Burgate questions
Is Lower Burgate too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What meats do you barbecue?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need anything from us?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
When should we book BBQ catering?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, rich and tender.
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, so nobody waits for the grill.

What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
