About our BBQ catering in Southrope
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. Whether it’s neighbourhood parties and leaving and retirement parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef brisket, halloumi skewers and sausages for your guests.
In a small place like Southrope, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, with the smell drawing people over. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. Sunset in Southrope is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- We cook and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
