Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. 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
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Add a hog roast alongside
Read our prices page and our barbecue menu ideas.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Could you cook in Claygate Common?

Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are typically easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
How do you handle food safety?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do halal?
No, we do not offer halal meat. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
