How our BBQ catering works in Boxgrove
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. On the menu are BBQ ribs, coleslaw and sausages, and typical bookings are for team days and staff summer parties and community fun days.
Near Boxgrove, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Step by step
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. A summer barbecue in Boxgrove stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Send a photo of where the barbecue could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
