BBQ catering starting prices & what to confirm

Use the published menu prices as a starting point, then ask Fables to quote for your guests, menu, location and serving arrangements.

Compare the three published Fable menus

Fable 1 starts from £22.95 per person, Fable 2 from £17.95 and Fable 3 from £14.95. Each menu lists three items per person, with four salads, relishes, French sticks and butter. The available grilled choices differ, so compare the food as well as the starting figure.

Fable 1 lists homemade relishes and local bakery French sticks. Fable 2 lists two homemade relishes, while Fable 3 lists two relishes. Read the complete menus for the exact wording and discuss your selected dishes, vegetarian or vegan portions and accompaniments before booking.

Keep the street-food selection separate

The BBQ Street Food Menu asks you to choose four options from six named choices. It does not publish a base price, so request a quote for that selection. The four-option rule describes the menu selection; it does not promise four servings per guest.

Its published side options are crispy seasoned fries or mixed salad with lemon vinaigrette dressing, under a £3 per person extra heading. The dessert selection is also £3 per person extra for one choice. These are street-food extras, not automatic free additions to a Fable menu.

Make the personalised quote complete

Send your event date, venue postcode, approximate guest numbers, preferred food and serving time. Explain the setup location, access and utility arrangements, along with any other catering. These details let Fables check the service and prepare the price for the actual event.

Ask the quotation to identify the agreed menu, quantity, service window, equipment and any extras. Include waiting staff, other catering, hire or own-power requests in that discussion. A starting price alone does not establish that every service or item visible in a photograph is included.

Check quantities and payment arrangements

An enquiry does not reserve a date. Written acceptance by Fables and the agreed booking fee in cleared funds secure the booking. The standard deposit is 50% unless different arrangements are agreed in writing; use your quotation and booking documents for the payment plan that applies.

The completed final booking form and cleared final balance are due 21 days before the event unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing. Confirmed guest numbers cannot fall below the original amount. Ask about increases by the final-form deadline so Fables can confirm capacity and any additional price.

Good questions before booking

Your BBQ catering questions.

Is £14.95 the price for every BBQ booking?

No. £14.95 per person is the current published starting price for Fable 3. Fable 2 and Fable 1 have different starting prices and menus, and the separate BBQ Street Food Menu is quoted individually. Your personalised quote confirms the arrangement and total price.

Do the Fable prices include unlimited food?

No. Each published Fable menu lists three items per person. The booking provides the agreed quantity for up to the agreed service period, ending when the food quantity has been served or the period ends, whichever happens first.
