A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- A full barbecue menu
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Our staff serve and clear

Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A spot well clear of buildings

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. For an evening barbecue in Paulsgrove, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
