Looking after everyone

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.

Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.

What happens on the day

With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Evening barbecues in North Stoke need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. You get a suggested menu and a price.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. Hot food is served through the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Confirm your menu choices in good time
  • Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

What affects the price in North Stoke

We work out each quote from:

  • Numbers
  • Plates or china
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • The journey to the venue

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What we need to know

Here’s what we’ll ask:

  • Any dietary needs or allergies
  • Where the event is
  • The date and time of the event
  • Rough numbers

For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

What comes off the grill

Beef burgers

Burgers cook quickly on the grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.

Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes turn a barbecue into a full meal.

Our BBQ planning guide

Why choose BBQ catering in North Stoke?

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 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.

Why book our barbecue in North Stoke

  • Planned to your running order
  • An itemised quote
  • Our staff serve and clear
  • Six meats to choose from

What the cooking area needs

A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:

  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
  • A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
  • Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
