BBQ catering in Blackwater, served hot
There is more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Typical bookings include street parties and reunions and family get-togethers, serving BBQ ribs, halloumi skewers and chicken skewers.
For a barbecue in Blackwater, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.

- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
