How our BBQ catering works in Upper North Dean
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and fundraising days, with coleslaw, chicken skewers and sausages.
Country barbecues near Upper North Dean are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

For an evening barbecue in Upper North Dean, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Your date and serving time
