How we price a catered barbecue
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
What you choose to eat matters most: 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 to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we will label the meat-free choices clearly.
