BBQ catering for Bar End
BBQ catering in Bar End, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. Whether it’s community fun days and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we can cook beef burgers, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Bar End, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and food safety is in professional hands. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Served at the time you choose

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How it works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Bar End is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Bar End
How far is Bar End from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Can you do a barbecue in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the venue need to provide?
Mostly space and access: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We’ll confirm details when we quote.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We cook under cover, so rain isn’t a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How many meats should we choose?
Not usually. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats and we will advise on the rest.
Do you come to Bar End?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
