BBQ catering in Anthill Common, cooked on site
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Typical bookings include neighbourhood parties and engagement and anniversary parties, serving sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Near Anthill Common, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
What comes off the grill
Beef brisket
Sliced brisket adds a grown-up touch, especially at a wedding or work event.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.

How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. In winter, plan lighting and somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area. China is available on request.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and food safety is in professional hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
