A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, a catered barbecue lets you choose exactly what’s served, and eat outdoors. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Cooked on site by our chef
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
