A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. In West Preston, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We cook and serve when you are ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Include children in your numbers
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening

FAQs for West Preston
Could you cook in Mewsbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you offer halal meat?
We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, and our staff serve and clear.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket, with halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
