Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
BBQ catering in Cothill, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, served with salads, coleslaw and potatoes. We are often asked to cater work barbecues and relaxed weddings and evening receptions, with beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs.
In a small place like Cothill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Cothill
Is Cothill too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Cothill from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cover Cothill?
Yes, Cothill is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if it rains?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower does not stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: somewhere level outside for the barbecue and the serving table. We will confirm details when we quote.
How much choice do we need?
Not typically. Pick a mix of grilled and slow-cooked meats.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How do you handle food safety?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.

About the food
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, served in a roll or with sides.
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
A catered barbecue compared with other options
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast feeds everyone at once and makes a centrepiece, so for bigger events, why not both?. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- A clear quote with everything listed
