A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
