Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Why book our barbecue in Ravenstone

  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Barbecue and hog roast together for big events

See our prices page and menu ideas for your barbecue.

Working with your venue

If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Planning the cooking spot

Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:

  • Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
  • A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
  • Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What BBQ catering costs

The price comes down to:

  • Access to the cooking area
  • How many people are eating
  • Distance from us
  • Whether you want china

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Details that help

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:

  • The address or postcode
  • Any venue rules
  • Dietary requirements
  • An estimate of numbers

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.

What comes off the grill

Sausages

Grilled until golden and cooked right through, they’re the easy crowd-pleaser.

Chicken skewers

Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, with salad or in a roll.

How to plan a catered barbecue

Looking after everyone

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
  • Tell us about children’s numbers
  • Give us numbers for the meat-free options

Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.

For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Common questions in Ravenstone

Is Ravenstone close to London?

Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you come out to small places like Ravenstone?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How many meats should we choose?

Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Let us know how many to expect.

Do you leave the area tidy?

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

What does the venue need to provide?

The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.

Can you serve the barbecue on plates?

Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.

Do you cook the barbecue on site?

Yes, on site at your venue in Ravenstone. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.

The process

We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. In Ravenstone, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.

  1. Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
  2. We suggest a menu and send a quote.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. Hot food is served through the agreed time.
  5. The serving area is cleared before we leave.

Before we arrive

  • Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
  • Choose someone to meet us on arrival
  • Tell us roughly how many children are coming
