BBQ catering for Bitchet Green
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
BBQ catering in Bitchet Green, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. We serve sausages, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we are often booked for charity fundraisers and summer staff days.
A barbecue in the countryside near Bitchet Green makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
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.
