FAQs for Rogate

Do you come out to small places like Rogate?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.

Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

Why choose BBQ catering in Rogate?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with 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 Rogate
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Our chef at the grill, not you
