BBQ catering for Burmarsh
How our BBQ catering works in Burmarsh
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Tell us about the space in Burmarsh and we will check it works. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and fundraising days, serving beef burgers, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
A barbecue in the countryside near Burmarsh makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

After a christening at a church such as Church of All Saints, a barbecue at home or a hall nearby is an easy way to feed everyone. The sea is within about 4 miles of Burmarsh, so breezy days are common: we choose a sheltered spot for the grill and keep smoke away from guests.
For events in TN29, we just need to know where the barbecue can cook and a serving time.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Tell us about children’s numbers
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces work for a barbecue if a few things are right. Check these:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
