Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Sausages
Children normally head straight for the sausages, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
Running late? Let us know, and we’ll work around it where possible.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. Your guests will smell it before they see it. By late September, sunset in Rudgwick is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about children’s numbers
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Think about where the smoke will drift
