BBQ catering for your event in Beech
In Beech, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: plenty of choice, nothing fussy and everyone happy. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. Typical bookings include relaxed weddings and evening receptions and summer staff days, serving chicken skewers, beef brisket and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Beech, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- Travel to Beech
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
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.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Beech
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Step by step
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. Autumn and winter barbecues in Beech get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
