BBQ catering in Bishopsgate
BBQ catering in Bishopsgate, cooked on site
There’s something about a barbecue that gets people talking: the smell, the queue and the plates piled high. In Bishopsgate, we will set up where it suits your event. Whether it is school fairs and summer fêtes and family celebrations, we can cook coleslaw, pulled pork and sausages for your guests.
In a small place like Bishopsgate, 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. All the barbecue, none of the effort: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
