BBQ catering for your event in Colbury
In Colbury, a barbecue is a favourite for relaxed events: familiar food, lots of choice and no formality. With us cooking, nobody you know spends the afternoon at the grill. On the menu are pulled pork, coleslaw and sausages, and we are often booked for leaving parties and fundraising barbecues.
Country barbecues near Colbury are hard to beat on a summer evening. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
