About our BBQ catering in Burdrop
BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Burdrop, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We’re often asked to cater retirement do’s and club open days, serving pulled pork, beef burgers and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Burdrop are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. At midsummer, it’s light in Burdrop until about 9:30pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Burdrop questions
Is Burdrop close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Burdrop too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
We cook under cover, so the season doesn’t stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.
Do you label the food for allergies?
Yes, ask us to label the food. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
