BBQ catering in Bishop's Waltham, served hot
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Bishop's Waltham, we’ll set up where it suits your event. We’re frequently asked to cater informal weddings and garden parties, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and chicken skewers.
Around Bishop's Waltham, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of day, and you will not spend it cooking. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
We start by setting up the barbecue and a serving table where we agreed. Then it is a case of cooking and serving for as long as we have agreed. For an evening barbecue in Bishop's Waltham, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

Why choose BBQ catering in Bishop's Waltham?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests don’t eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
