Whether it’s twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Give us an idea of numbers and we’ll suggest a menu. Popular choices include beef brisket, beef burgers and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater informal weddings and fundraising days.

Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements

Yes, on site at your venue in Chieveley. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.

That’s one of the best reasons to have it catered: separate equipment for raw and cooked food, and everything cooked through.

We tidy the serving area. Ask if you’d like china.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a barbecue cooked by friends, nobody is left cooking while the party happens, and the food is cooked by people who do it every week. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Burgers, ribs, pulled pork, brisket and more
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Vegetarian and vegan options as standard

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Sausages
Sausages go down well with younger guests, and they’re easy to eat standing up.
How it works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower will not stop it, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Chieveley until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:10pm.
