About our BBQ catering in Blue Bell Hill
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. For family celebrations and community fun days, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, coleslaw and beef burgers for your guests.
Near Blue Bell Hill, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Blue Bell Hill
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why book our barbecue in Blue Bell Hill

About the food
BBQ ribs
BBQ ribs bring a sticky, glazed favourite to the table.
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, a lighter choice than burgers.
How it works
On the day, we set up the barbecue on the agreed spot, put the cover up and get it hot. Then our chef cooks through the service time, timed to when you want to eat. In Blue Bell Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about children’s numbers
