Common Questions About Our Service
General Questions
How do I book Stubby’s BBQ?
Fill out the enquiry form on our website or email us directly with your event details. We’ll get back to you with a personalised quote.
How much notice do you need for bookings?
For weddings and large events, we recommend booking at least 6–12 months ahead. For smaller private events, 1–3 months is usually fine. Festival bookings depend on availability.
Are you insured and registered?
Yes – we have full public liability insurance, a 5-star hygiene rating, and are fully compliant with UK food safety regulations.
Private Hire Catering
What types of events do you cater for?
We cover weddings, birthdays, corporate events, anniversaries, garden parties, and more. If it’s worth celebrating, it’s worth firing up the BBQ for!
How far do you travel?
We’re based in the South West (Exeter area) but happily travel UK-wide. Travel and accommodation costs are factored into your quote for events outside our local area.
Do you provide all the equipment?
Yes. We bring our own smokers, planchas, fryers, gazebos, serving tables, and everything else needed to serve up the feast. All you need to do is bring your appetite.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Absolutely. We can create dishes for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and allergy-conscious guests. Just let us know in advance so we can adapt the menu.
How much space do you need at the venue?
For most events, a 6m x 6m space is perfect for our setup. We can work with slightly less if needed – we’ll confirm during the booking process.
Do you require power and water?
We can operate completely self-sufficient with our own generators and water supply, but if your venue can provide these, it’s a bonus.
Festivals & Markets
Where can I find Stubby’s BBQ?
We pop up at festivals, markets, and foodie events across the South West (and sometimes beyond). Check our social media for upcoming dates and locations.
Do you change your menu for events?
Yes – our food truck menu is designed for quick service but still uses the same BBQ-smoked meats and homemade sauces we serve at private events.
Do you serve vegetarian or vegan options at festivals?
We always have at least one vegetarian and/or vegan dish available – think smoked jackfruit burgers, grilled veggie skewers, or BBQ bean wraps.
Can I hire you after tasting your food at a festival?
Absolutely – many of our private bookings start with someone trying our brisket or pulled pork at an event. Just ask us for a booking card or visit our website.
