Your questions about a catered barbecue in Minster Lovell
How far is Minster Lovell from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Minster Lovell too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Fill in our quote form.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Should we have every meat?
You do not need everything. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.
What can we have at a catered 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 bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.

The process

- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
