How our BBQ catering works in Ardley
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. For family celebrations and leaving parties, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and sausages and more.
Near Ardley, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What meats do you barbecue?
Beef burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, BBQ ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Sides include salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When should we book BBQ catering?
