About our BBQ catering in Betsham
In Betsham, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. For summer parties in the garden and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays, we’ll put together a menu of sausages, BBQ ribs and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Betsham, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
The process
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, so nobody waits for the first round. Sunset in Betsham is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and get the grill hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

- The number of people
- Travel to Betsham
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
