How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Chicken skewers
Our chef grills chicken on skewers, a lighter choice than burgers.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Working with your venue
