About our BBQ catering in Charndon
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. For Fêtes, fairs and sports days and summer parties in the garden, we can cook coleslaw, beef burgers and BBQ ribs for your guests.
A barbecue in the countryside near Charndon makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A wet-weather plan for your guests
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, quoted separately.
Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a row of street-food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Charndon hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Meat-free choices on every menu
See our pricing or our barbecue menu ideas.
What happens on the day
Grilled food is at its best when it’s hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. For an evening barbecue in Charndon, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the area tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose the menu a week or so before
