BBQ catering in Beckley Furnace, served hot
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Beckley Furnace: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and birthdays and milestone parties, serving halloumi skewers, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
In a small place like Beckley Furnace, 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.

What else we do in Beckley Furnace
Beckley Furnace questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Beckley Furnace close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.
Do you offer halal meat?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Yes. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is BBQ catering only for summer?
The grill cooks under cover, so it works all year. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site at your venue in Beckley Furnace. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
The grill needs flat ground outdoors and cover overhead. Here’s what helps:
- Parking near the grill
- Flat ground outdoors for the barbecue
- Clearance from walls, marquee sides and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
