How our BBQ catering works in Red Rice
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For birthdays and milestone parties and club open days, we can cook halloumi skewers, sausages and beef brisket.
Near Red Rice, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What we serve, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table; have napkins ready.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Plates or china
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Allergies we should know about
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
