What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Space, access and the venue
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- A spot where smoke won’t blow into the house or marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Stockland Green: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Barnett's Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do halal?
No. If guests need halal, arrange that separately.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How do you handle food safety?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, following Food Standards Agency advice.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we’ll confirm the rest when we quote.
