BBQ catering for your event in Ashford Common
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving halloumi skewers, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
Around Ashford Common, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

The menu, dish by dish
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite, filling and easy to eat.
Beef brisket
For beef lovers, brisket is the one to choose, served on a plate or in a roll.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Planned to your running order
- Add a hog roast alongside
- A full barbecue menu
See our prices page or BBQ menu ideas.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. For an evening barbecue in Ashford Common, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
