A barbecue near Broad Street
How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. Evening barbecues in Broad Street need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Let us know about tight access
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating

Questions from Broad Street
Do you come out to small places like Broad Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in White Horse Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do you handle food safety?
That is one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Tell us your numbers and we will suggest a split.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, with our staff serving and clearing.
What if it rains?
We cook under cover, so rain is not a problem for the food. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
