How we price a catered barbecue
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
