What we serve, dish by dish
Sausages
Barbecued sausages are always popular, served in a roll or with sides.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone doesn’t eat beef
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself, and eat outdoors. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
