What affects the price in Stoke Poges
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
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 choose BBQ catering in Stoke Poges?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our chef at the grill, not you
