How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Porchfield get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day

What affects the price in Porchfield
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Six meats to choose from
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose

Porchfield questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Porchfield?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The cooking area is covered, so it’s guests who need a wet-weather plan.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. A hog roast gives you a centrepiece and the barbecue adds variety.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
