How our BBQ catering works in Boarshead
There is something about a barbecue that gets people talking: people gather round the grill and come back for seconds. In Boarshead, we’ll set up where it suits your event. Whether it’s fundraising barbecues and leaving parties, we can cook BBQ ribs, sausages and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Boarshead, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. A summer barbecue in Boarshead stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
