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.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Crockery choices
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, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book with us
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll work around it where possible.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What comes off the grill
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Crunchy coleslaw suits barbecue food, while salads keep it light.
