Choose the food · Peterborough

Familiar favourites, deliberately chosen.

Build a considered shortlist from the Essential BBQ menu, published from £14.95 per person.

Choose across the list.

Essential includes chicken marinated in apricot and ginger, honey and grain mustard, or Jack Daniels barbecue sauce. The list also includes smoky barbecue and Chinese-style spare ribs, several sausage choices, pork and apple burger, chicken burger with chilli relish and beef burger. Read the full list before choosing: a familiar category can contain quite different flavours.

You choose three grilled items per person from this menu. A shortlist containing chicken, a sausage and a burger gives different dish types; three marinades of chicken gives a different kind of variety. These are ways to discuss a selection, not additional package combinations or a promise that every guest chooses freely on the day.

Let the salads do a different job.

With a rich or sweet marinade, consider whether your four shared salads should include leaves, a potato choice and contrasting vegetables. For example, the published garden salad, homemade coleslaw and Thai potato salad have distinct ingredient descriptions. Review the complete salad list rather than assuming a generic side will be supplied.

Essential includes four salads, bread, butter and two relishes in the published menu. Specific breads, relish flavours, serving equipment and service arrangements need to be confirmed; the menu name does not establish them.

Prepare an Essential brief.

  • Copy three exact grilled dish names from Essential.
  • Choose four shared salads or potato salads.
  • Record separate vegetarian or vegan portions and requested alternatives.
  • State your guest count, event date and serving plan.
  • Ask the quote to identify travel, staff, equipment and any extras.

The vegetarian list includes rosemary and sweet potato parcels, sweetcorn with chilli butter, vegetarian burger and vegetarian sausages, with the published vegetarian or vegan labels shown on the menu. Those labels do not establish allergy suitability. Food allergies cannot be catered for. The £14.95 rate is a starting food price; the event total needs written confirmation.
