BBQ catering in Charlwood, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. For cricket, football and rugby club days and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, coleslaw and pulled pork for your guests.
In a small place like Charlwood, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.
How it works
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. Barbecue food is cooked through service, so it is flexible. Autumn and winter barbecues in Charlwood get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
