About our BBQ catering in Astwood
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a picture of the space and we will confirm it. We serve BBQ ribs, sausages and beef burgers, and we are often booked for garden parties and big birthday parties.
In a small place like Astwood, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
