About our BBQ catering in Bay View
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve beef burgers, beef brisket and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Near Bay View, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Permission from the venue or landowner
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What BBQ catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- Crockery choices

Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. At midsummer, it is light in Bay View until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.

Bay View questions
Is Bay View too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Bay View from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need anything from us?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Will you clear up afterwards?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up. Ask if you’d like china.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes: halloumi and vegetable skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage for vegans. Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
Do you label the food for allergies?
You will get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
