Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we’ll adjust where we can.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

The process
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. Autumn and winter barbecues in Axmansford get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Send final numbers in good time
