How our BBQ catering works in Adisham
The barbecue goes on a level, open spot outdoors with cover over it, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a picture of the space and we will confirm it. We are frequently asked to cater street parties and summer parties in the garden, with coleslaw, beef brisket and sausages.
Near Adisham, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
For event organisers in Adisham
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
