What BBQ catering costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Upper Green
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 to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so some events have both. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why Upper Green hosts choose us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- An itemised quote
