How our BBQ catering works in Chuck Hatch
Burgers, sausages and chicken skewers come straight off the grill, with sticky ribs, pulled pork and sliced brisket alongside. Pick the meats that suit your guests. Whether it is evening wedding food and team days and staff summer parties, we can cook beef brisket, halloumi skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Chuck Hatch, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so for bigger events, why not both?. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
