Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
