BBQ catering in Brightwell Baldwin, served hot
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We serve beef burgers, BBQ ribs and sausages, and we’re frequently booked for sports clubs and team events and 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays.
In a small place like Brightwell Baldwin, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it doesn’t need a kitchen. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Cooked on site by our chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Our staff serve and clear
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
