BBQ catering in Burnham, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. On the menu are beef brisket, sausages and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for retirement do’s and garden parties.
Around Burnham, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, and you won’t spend it cooking. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, in a roll or on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
