BBQ catering for your event in Townsend
For bigger events in Townsend, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. Typical bookings include street parties and cricket, football and rugby club days, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Townsend, 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 handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
What you choose to eat matters most: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
