BBQ catering in Stonegate, cooked on site

In Stonegate, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. For engagement and anniversary parties and summer staff days, we can cook sausages, chicken skewers and beef brisket.

In a small place like Stonegate, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works

We arrive in good time before service, so the barbecue is ready when you are. Your guests will smell it before they see it. Autumn and winter barbecues in Stonegate get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

  1. Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
  2. We check it and send a price.
  3. On the day, we cook on site under cover.
  4. We serve as your guests come up.
  5. We leave the spot tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Confirm your menu choices in good time
  • Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Our BBQ planning guide

Why choose BBQ catering in Stonegate?

Compared with a cold buffet, everything is hot and freshly cooked. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Why us?

  • Sides to make it a full meal
  • Served at the time you choose
  • A clear quote with everything listed
  • Our staff serve and clear

Prices and what affects them

Things that change the price:

  • The number of people
  • The journey to the venue
  • Whether you want china
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The venue or postcode
  • Dietary requirements
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.

What comes off the grill

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Sausages

Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
  • Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.

Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

Working with your venue

If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
