How the day works
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Sunset in Winnersh is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
How to get a price

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Six meats to choose from
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
