What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
Send us the date, the address or ME9 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
How our BBQ catering works in South Green
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We’re frequently asked to cater relaxed weddings and evening receptions and engagement and anniversary parties, serving BBQ ribs, pulled pork and coleslaw.
Near South Green, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the cooking is in experienced hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Six meats to choose from
- Serving and clearing done for you

South Green: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue in Stockbury Hill Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like South Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What if it rains?
The cooking area is covered, but guests will want shelter too.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
Can you do halal?
We don’t. If guests need halal, arrange that separately; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
