How our BBQ catering works in Broadgate
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, because there’s beef, chicken and pork to choose from, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We serve chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and sausages, and typical bookings are for relaxed weddings and evening receptions and fundraising barbecues.
Country barbecues near Broadgate are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day

What BBQ catering costs
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Season and day of the week

For event organisers in Broadgate
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Broadgate until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- We tidy up before we go.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time
- Choose the menu a week or so before

What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
Beef burgers
Beef burgers are quick to grill, which helps at busy times alongside the slow-cooked meats.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
Questions from Broadgate
Is Broadgate too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Broadgate close to London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Of course. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Use our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast as well?
We can. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
