How our BBQ catering works in Bockmer End
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. We serve pulled pork, chicken skewers and BBQ ribs, and we are often booked for garden parties and cricket, football and rugby club days.
Country barbecues near Bockmer End are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
- A full barbecue menu
- An itemised quote

The process
We arrive in good time before service, so the grill is hot by the time you want to eat. The smell soon brings people over. Evening barbecues in Bockmer End need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Think about where the smoke will drift
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
