BBQ catering in Beckley
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Beckley hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A full barbecue menu
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

BBQ catering for your event in Beckley
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For work barbecues and family celebrations, we can cook BBQ ribs, coleslaw and pulled pork for your guests.
In a small place like Beckley, 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
The menu makes a big difference to the price: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Details that help

- Your date and serving time

- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How it works
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. Autumn and winter barbecues in Beckley get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
