BBQ catering in New Copse, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Popular choices include beef brisket, beef burgers and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for back-garden get-togethers and informal weddings.
A barbecue in the countryside near New Copse makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
The process
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Sunset in New Copse is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

What else we do in New Copse
A barbecue or other catering?
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: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why book our barbecue in New Copse

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
