Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs

- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten

Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Stone Cross
Can you do a barbecue in Poulton Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Stone Cross too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do halal?
No, we don’t offer halal meat. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, or halal food can be arranged separately.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Once your date is fixed, especially for June to September. Short notice is still worth a try: fill in our quote form.
