How our BBQ catering works in Charlton
Hosting a barbecue typically means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. With BBQ catering, all of that is done for you, so you can spend the time with your guests. For relaxed weddings and evening receptions and leaving parties, we can cook BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork and more.
Around Charlton, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A catered barbecue fits right in, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

FAQs for Charlton
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Charlton close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked safely?
That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Can we mix BBQ and hog roast?
Yes. Many bigger events have both. Ask and we will quote for the mix.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes. Our chef cooks outdoors, under cover, at your event, with our staff serving and clearing.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Instead of asking a friend to man the grill, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

- Timed around your day
- Six meats to choose from
