BBQ catering for your event in Ashurst Bridge
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. On the menu are sausages, BBQ ribs and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for team days and staff summer parties and charity fundraisers.
Near Ashurst Bridge, barbecues often 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 the food

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, so the event carries on around us.
