What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have 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. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
