Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming

What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
