- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot

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.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
