BBQ catering for your event in Charing Heath
For bigger events in Charing Heath, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. Ask and we’ll quote for both. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and family celebrations, with BBQ ribs, beef burgers and pulled pork.
Near Charing Heath, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, a catered barbecue means everyone gets to be a guest, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- No surprises: everything in writing
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
See our prices page and BBQ menu ideas.
Space, access and the venue
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Space for the barbecue and a serving table
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect

- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area and pack away, so there is very little left for you to do.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
What happens on the day
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. In Charing Heath, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
