BBQ catering in Boughton Aluph
BBQ catering in Boughton Aluph, served hot
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will plan around it. On the menu are chicken skewers, sausages and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and evening wedding food.
Near Boughton Aluph, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
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 the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
