How our BBQ catering works in Spring Vale
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Spring Vale, we will set up where it suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater cricket, football and rugby club days and informal weddings, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and BBQ ribs.
Country barbecues near Spring Vale are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

What we serve, dish by dish

Step by step
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving through the time you’ve chosen. At midsummer, it is light in Spring Vale until about 9:20pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Include children in your numbers
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Spring Vale
- Whether you want china
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 to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
For somewhere as remote as Spring Vale, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
