How our BBQ catering works in Norton Ash
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Whether it’s relaxed weddings and evening receptions and work barbecues, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, BBQ ribs and coleslaw for your guests.
Near Norton Ash, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
How we price a catered barbecue
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our chef at the grill, not you
