A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a row of street-food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
