How much does BBQ catering cost?
Smith’s BBQ menus vary widely in requirements and therefore cost. Delivery, equipment hire (incl. service equipment, glassware, tables/linens, marquees, etc.), staff, and other extras are quoted by event. Check our dedicated menu pages for specifics:

How much BBQ will I need per person?
We usually recommend at least 9 kilos of cooked meat for the minimum (corporate catering) order of 40. For vegan and vegetarian alternatives, allow a minimum of one main per person.

Where do you source your meat?
We only work with suppliers who share our high standards for produce. These include:
- Master sausage maker Jean Paul at Franconian, who’ll custom-make any sausage you want
- Award-winning butchers Godfrey’s for 100% Aberdeen Angus burgers
- Billingsgate fish market
- HFA-certified suppliers for halal meats as required

What alternatives do you offer for special dietary preferences / requirements?
We provide a range of meat- and dairy-free alternatives to suit the theme of each menu. These include halloumi burgers, roasted vegetable burritos, and spicy stuffed aubergine (see menus for more). We can also provide gluten- or dairy-free breads, and meet religious requirements.
None of our menus are “set” and we’re always happy to create bespoke menus to suit any themed event. Last season our chefs created a special Hawaiian menu for a company staff day, serving custom banana daiquiris to the hula- and lei-wearing guests.
