How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up. China is available on request.

Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.
BBQ catering for your event in Buckskin
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off 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. We serve BBQ ribs, beef brisket and pulled pork, and typical bookings are for charity fundraisers and leaving parties.
In a place like Buckskin, a barbecue at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

How it works
We set up where we agreed and keep out of the way, so your event carries on around us. Smoke drifts, so we will think about the wind with you. Sunset in Buckskin is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover before service.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Is a barbecue right for your event?
