For event organisers in Orlestone
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a catered barbecue
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.

Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Is Orlestone too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are generally easier to get. Use our quote form.

No, we do not offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What meats do you barbecue?
You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Most events pick three or four.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
How the day works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. Evening barbecues in Orlestone need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
