FAQs for Stone Copse
Do you come out to small places like Stone Copse?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Victoria Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Do you cover Stone Copse?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
When should we book BBQ catering?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. But ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
