BBQ catering in Artington, cooked on site
Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. Typical bookings include team days and staff summer parties and school fairs and summer fêtes, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Artington, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
