What's included
How it works
Frequently asked
BBQ chef hire is quoted per person, from around £55 per head for a relaxed grill-and-salads spread through to £110+ per head for a full live-fire feast with canapés, sharing boards and dessert. Ingredients, charcoal, cooking, service and the clean-down are all included in the quote.
Gus can cook on your grill or bring his own charcoal setup, including a Weber kettle and skewer kit. He brings knives, boards, marinades, charcoal and all serving equipment — you just need outdoor space, a work surface and access to water.
Live-fire cooking with French, Mediterranean, North African and Asian influences: paprika spatchcock chicken, tandoori and satay skewers, whole fish and seafood, grilled asparagus and seasonal vegetables, dressed salads, flatbreads and dips, finished with a seasonal fruit pastry or chocolate plate.
Bristol weather is planned for. Gus grills under cover where possible and every BBQ menu has an indoor plan B — the same dishes finished in your kitchen — so the evening goes ahead either way.
Garden BBQs work from 6 guests up to around 40. Smaller numbers are served plated or family-style; larger parties move to a grazing buffet format, with support staff added as the guest count grows.
Bristol and all the BS postcodes — Clifton, Redland, Cotham, Bishopston, Southville, Long Ashton and beyond — plus Bath, North Somerset, Somerset, Gloucestershire, the Cotswolds and Wiltshire, anywhere within roughly 50 miles of Bristol.
