Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Somewhere for us to park close to the cooking spot
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
