About our BBQ catering in Tubney
Some hosts in Tubney pair a barbecue with a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we’ll quote for both. For Fêtes, fairs and sports days and back-garden get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, beef burgers and beef brisket.
In a small place like Tubney, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

How we price a catered barbecue
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
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.
A closer look at the menu
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, which keeps the queue moving.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
FAQs for Tubney
Is Tubney too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Tubney close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How much choice do we need?
Most events choose three or four meats, plus the meat-free options. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
What do you need from the venue?
A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it’s steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
How soon do barbecue dates go?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Send us your details through our quote form.
