Book a BBQ in Chilswell
Step by step
Before service, we set up the grill and the serving table on the agreed spot. Then our chef cooks and the team serves through the time you’ve chosen. At midsummer, it is light in Chilswell until about 9:25pm, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, the venue and roughly how many.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We arrive in good time and get the barbecue hot.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day

BBQ catering in Chilswell, cooked on site
Some hosts in Chilswell pair a barbecue with a hog roast, so there’s a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. Typical bookings include birthdays and milestone parties and reunions and family get-togethers, with beef burgers, halloumi skewers and sausages.
Near Chilswell, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

What comes off the grill
Pulled pork
Because it’s slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes for a full meal.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space for our vehicle nearby
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, which helps when some guests do not eat pork. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
