- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.

Why choose BBQ catering in Woodmansterne?
Compared with a DIY barbecue, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Our chef at the grill, not you
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Serving and clearing done for you

What comes off the grill

Is the food cooked safely?
Meat is cooked until it is steaming hot all the way through, with no pink and juices running clear, following Food Standards Agency advice.
