About our BBQ catering in Calvert
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. You choose the mix that suits your event. We are often asked to cater garden parties and community fun days, serving beef burgers, BBQ ribs and beef brisket.
A barbecue in the countryside near Calvert makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Six meats to choose from
- Cooked on site by our chef

The process
Most barbecue food is cooked through service, so we arrive ahead of food time and cook to demand. That keeps everything hot and fresh. In Calvert, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Include children in your numbers
- Choose the menu a week or so before

Is BBQ catering only for summer?
Most barbecues are in summer, but we can cook in any season, with cover over the grill. Guests will want somewhere dry and warm.
What do children typically eat?
Burgers and sausages are normally the children’s favourites, with a vegan sausage for any vegetarian children. Tell us roughly how many are coming.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
