How our BBQ catering works in Brook Street
In Brook Street, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve BBQ ribs, beef brisket and beef burgers, and we’re frequently booked for team days and staff summer parties and fundraising barbecues.
A barbecue in the countryside near Brook Street makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What BBQ catering costs
The biggest factors are:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Site access
- How many people are eating
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. Sunset in Brook Street is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is normally in daylight.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a suggested menu and a price.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- Hot food is served through the agreed time.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Think about lights for the serving area after dark
