About our BBQ catering in Bourne End
In Bourne End, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. Typical bookings include Fêtes, fairs and sports days and summer parties in the garden, serving coleslaw, beef burgers and pulled pork.
For a barbecue in Bourne End, the garden is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How we price a catered barbecue
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We cook as your guests come up, and our staff serve and keep the queue moving.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, barbecue food is hot and cooked to order. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

The process

- We start with your date, venue and numbers.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
