BBQ catering in Murston, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For big birthday parties and back-garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, pulled pork and sausages and more.
For a barbecue in Murston, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
How the day works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. In Murston, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Whether you want china
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
