About our BBQ catering in Boars Hill
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. For garden parties and fundraising days, we will put together a menu of beef burgers, chicken skewers and beef brisket for your guests.
Country barbecues near Boars Hill are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Boars Hill
Could you cook in Raleigh Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Boars Hill too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it is a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there is enough.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Of course. With salads and potatoes, it is a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will guests know what’s in each dish?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we can label the vegetarian and vegan options.

- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot tidy.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
