BBQ catering in Chearsley, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. We are frequently asked to cater leaving parties and community fun days, serving BBQ ribs, beef brisket and chicken skewers.
Country barbecues near Chearsley are hard to beat on a summer evening. 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.

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A level lawn, patio or hard standing
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
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. Evening barbecues in Chearsley need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.

- We grill outdoors at your event.
- Our team serves hot food through the agreed time.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
