What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
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.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
How the day works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. A summer barbecue in Staplefield stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
