BBQ catering in Broadford, cooked on site
Barbecue food is at its best straight from the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we will work to it. For family celebrations and evening wedding food, we can cook sausages, beef burgers and beef brisket and more.
Country barbecues near Broadford are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Autumn and winter barbecues in Broadford get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
