How we price a catered barbecue
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. By late September, sunset in Odiham is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Choose your meats and sides.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.

Planning help
A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a fixed venue menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. 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. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What you get with us

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
