Venues there may restrict open cooking, so ask about their rules first.

BBQ catering in Bobbing, served hot
From a small family gathering to a big club day, a barbecue can be planned around the size of your event. Tell us your rough numbers and we will plan the menu and service. We serve beef burgers, beef brisket and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and engagement and anniversary parties.
Near Bobbing, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.

The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Bobbing until about 9:15pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:00pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Confirm your menu choices in good time

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or ME9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, nobody you know spends the event at the grill, and the cooking is in experienced hands. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
