Step by step

- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

About our BBQ catering in Streatley
In Streatley, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For leaving and retirement parties and work barbecues, we will put together a menu of sausages, beef burgers and coleslaw.
In a small place like Streatley, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Served at the time you choose
- Barbecue and hog roast together for big events
- A clear quote with everything listed

Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- A green light from whoever owns the site
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
