BBQ catering in Nutfield, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it is evening wedding food and club open days, we can cook BBQ ribs, beef brisket and sausages and more.
In a small place like Nutfield, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Nutfield, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
