About our BBQ catering in Capel Cross
A barbecue suits mixed groups well, with beef, chicken and pork on the menu, and proper vegetarian and vegan options too. We are frequently asked to cater retirement do’s and summer parties in the garden, serving chicken skewers, beef burgers and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Capel Cross, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Tell us about children’s numbers
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Why us?
