Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a row of street-food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
Read our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
How it works
One of us cooks, the others serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Autumn and winter barbecues in Walton-on-Thames get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the barbecue and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us which meats you’d like in advance
