How our BBQ catering works in Blacklands
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are frequently asked to cater retirement do’s and engagement and anniversary parties, with coleslaw, pulled pork and beef burgers.
In a place like Blacklands, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
