How our BBQ catering works in Sarre
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Whether it is leaving parties and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers and more.
In a small place like Sarre, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are grilled on site and served in a bun, hot off the barbecue.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, served alongside the burgers and sausages.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of food time, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. By late September, sunset in Sarre is about 7:00pm; in December it’s about 3:50pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
