The process

Sunset in Baffins is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is typically in daylight.

- 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.

How our BBQ catering works in Baffins

In a place like Baffins, a barbecue at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Other occasions in Baffins
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why Baffins hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats

- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, so nobody waits for the first burgers.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
