About our BBQ catering in Burridge
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. For fundraising days and evening wedding food, we will put together a menu of BBQ ribs, sausages and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Burridge are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
Your questions about a catered barbecue in Burridge
Is Burridge too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Burridge from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we have a barbecue and a hog roast?
Yes, and it’s a popular combination. Tell us your numbers and we’ll suggest a split.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, on site, outdoors and under cover, and our staff serve and clear.
Can we have a barbecue in winter?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How many meats should we choose?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. A shorter menu also speeds up service.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
The barbecue goes where we agreed, leaving the rest of the space to you.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What BBQ catering costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Burridge
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about

How it works

- 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
