Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, and the grill becomes a gathering point. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Six meats to choose from

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
