Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
BBQ catering in Shottermill, cooked on site
Barbecues are good at pleasing everyone, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. Popular choices include pulled pork, chicken skewers and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater fundraising barbecues and summer parties in the garden.
Around Shottermill, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you won’t spend it cooking. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Parking near the grill
- A spot well clear of buildings
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

If the day starts at a church like St. Stephen's Church, the barbecue can be ready at a hall or garden close by.

Some venues in protected landscapes have rules about open cooking and vehicles, so check with yours.

How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. By late September, sunset in Shottermill is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose the menu a week or so before

There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
What we need to know

- Any dietary needs or allergies

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
