BBQ catering in Bodicote, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Give us your serving time and we’ll work to it. Whether it’s community fun days and fundraising days, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, halloumi skewers and BBQ ribs for your guests.
For a barbecue in Bodicote, the garden is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Pulled pork is ready to serve from the start of service, which keeps the queue moving.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Thinking of a barbecue in People's Park? Many parks ban barbecues, and catering needs the landowner’s permission, typically the council’s. After a christening at a church such as Church of St John the Baptist, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone.
