Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot

How the day works
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then our chef cooks and the team serves for as long as we have agreed. Evening barbecues in Singleton need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
- Grilled at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- A full barbecue menu, not just burgers
- Something for everyone, including vegetarians and vegans
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
