Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Cooked on site by our chef

Step by step
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. In Sandford, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we cook on site under cover.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
