What BBQ catering costs
Each price is built from:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.

Common questions in St Giles
Can you do a barbecue in St Anne's Churchyard?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in St Giles has no side access?
Often, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do barbecues out of season?
We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we’ll quote for the mix.
Can you do halal?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it’s flexible. Evening barbecues in St Giles need a little planning: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- 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

Planning the cooking spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
As a London location, St Giles is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
