Planning an event in Nuthurst?
Step by step
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Nuthurst is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
Before we arrive
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

BBQ catering for your event in Nuthurst
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Typical bookings include cricket, football and rugby club days and fundraising days, serving sausages, chicken skewers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Nuthurst, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

What BBQ catering costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: use our quote form.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and jacket potatoes, depending on the occasion.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
