BBQ catering in Butler's Cross, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We serve pulled pork, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and typical bookings are for informal weddings and club open days.
In a small place like Butler's Cross, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. All the barbecue, none of the effort: we shop, cook, serve and clear.

How it works
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. A summer barbecue in Butler's Cross stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- First, you send us your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- Our chef cooks and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us roughly how many children are coming
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
