BBQ catering for your event in Chesterton
Hosting a barbecue usually means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Popular choices include sausages, beef burgers and chicken skewers, and typical bookings are for cricket, football and rugby club days and street parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Chesterton makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. In Chesterton, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send a picture of where the barbecue could go.
- We check it and send a price.
- We grill outdoors at your event.
- We serve as your guests come up.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Plan lighting if the barbecue runs into the evening
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests

Chesterton questions
How far is Chesterton from London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Is Chesterton too small for a barbecue?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Chesterton?
Yes, Chesterton is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do we have to eat from rolls?
Yes. A barbecue works as a plated meal with sides; ask about china if you’d like it.
Should we have every meat?
Not usually. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
Do you cook the barbecue on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Can you do halal?
No. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it; our vegetarian and vegan options are available.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
Summer Saturdays go first, so ask as early as you can. Weekday and off-season dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
What comes off the grill
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Sausages
Cooked through and browned on the grill, sausages are simple and satisfying.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
If timings change, tell your contact as early as you can, and we will adjust where we can.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.
