About our BBQ catering in Radfield
In Radfield, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We’re often asked to cater club open days and big birthday parties, with beef burgers, chicken skewers and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Radfield makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- The date and time of year
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.

Why choose BBQ catering in Radfield?
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
