A barbecue near Boughton Corner
BBQ catering in Boughton Corner, served hot
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can enjoy your own event. We’re frequently asked to cater summer parties in the garden and leaving and retirement parties, serving halloumi skewers, beef burgers and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Boughton Corner makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

How it works
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Boughton Corner need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the serving area after that.

- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
