- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
How we price a catered barbecue
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG27 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why book with us

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.

Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can you do halal?
We do not offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
