Our BBQ planning guide

BBQ catering for your event in Northend

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. Whether it’s retirement do’s and Fêtes, fairs and sports days, we’ll put together a menu of chicken skewers, beef burgers and coleslaw and more.

Country barbecues near Northend are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works

We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. A summer barbecue in Northend stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.

  1. First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
  2. We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
  4. At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Tell us which meats you’d like in advance

Northend questions

Is Northend close to London?

Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.

Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

How many meats should we choose?

Not typically. Mix quick-grilled items with pulled pork or brisket and we will advise on the rest.

How far ahead should we book?

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

What does the venue need to provide?

Mostly space and access: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.

What do children generally eat?

Burgers and sausages are generally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.

Will you clear up afterwards?

We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.

Do you provide china?

We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

Space, access and the venue

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

  • Space for the barbecue and a serving table
  • Space for our vehicle nearby
  • Permission from the venue or landowner

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. What you choose to eat matters most: 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.

What you get with us

  • Six meats to choose from
  • A choice of salads and potatoes
  • Timed around your day
  • Pair it with a hog roast if you like

Take a look at our prices page or menu ideas for your barbecue.

What we serve, dish by dish

Pulled pork

Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, which keeps the queue moving.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Looking after everyone

Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:

  • Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Let us know roughly how many children are coming

After service, our staff clear up, leaving the spot tidy.

Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.

How we price a catered barbecue

Each price is built from:

  • How many people are eating
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • Distance from us
  • Season and day of the week

Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

Details that help

When you enquire, please mention:

  • The address or postcode
  • The date and time of the event
  • Anything the venue has asked for
  • Dietary requirements

Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

  • Our chef at the grill, so you don’t have to be
  • Six barbecue meats to choose from
  • Vegetarian and vegan options: halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage
