BBQ catering for your event in Appleshaw
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it is big birthday parties and reunions and family get-togethers, we can cook chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and coleslaw and more.
Country barbecues near Appleshaw are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A clear way in from where we park
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
What we serve
- Coleslaw
- Chicken skewers
- Beef brisket
- Beef burgers
- BBQ ribs

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:

On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.
