Book a BBQ in Cassington
The process
A barbecue is cooked as people eat, so we time our arrival around your serving time. It means food comes off the grill hot. Evening barbecues in Cassington need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:30pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange lighting for a late barbecue
- Confirm your menu choices in good time
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

About our BBQ catering in Cassington
A barbecue is one of the easiest ways to feed a crowd in Cassington: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. The difference with a catered barbecue is that nobody from your party is stuck at the grill. We serve beef brisket, BBQ ribs and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and sports clubs and team events.
Country barbecues near Cassington are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
The barbecue goes where we agreed, so the event carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
What BBQ catering costs
