BBQ catering in Throwley Forstal
How our BBQ catering works in Throwley Forstal
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with coleslaw, pulled pork and sausages.
In a small place like Throwley Forstal, 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’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a catered barbecue
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Throwley Forstal
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Parking near the grill
