BBQ catering in Blackheath, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. On the menu are beef burgers, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and summer staff days.
In a small place like Blackheath, 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 plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
What BBQ catering costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
