About our BBQ catering in Climping
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Whether it is evening wedding food and close and cul-de-sac parties, we can cook sausages, beef brisket and BBQ ribs for your guests.
In a small place like Climping, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.
Chicken skewers
Chicken skewers are grilled on site, for guests who prefer chicken.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
Our chef cooks through the agreed service time, while our staff serve and keep things flowing.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a barbecue right for your event?
Compared with ordering takeaway, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?

Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
