BBQ catering in Crockerhill, served hot
Hosting a barbecue generally means shopping, prepping, cooking and clearing. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Typical bookings include school fairs and summer fêtes and leaving parties, with beef brisket, sausages and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Crockerhill makes a lovely summer party. 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.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef

Common questions in Crockerhill
Can you barbecue near the sea around Crockerhill?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Crockerhill?

What do you need from the venue?
Space and a way in, mainly: a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings, with cover over the grill. We will confirm details when we quote.
Does rain stop the barbecue?
We bring cover for the grill, but guests will want shelter too.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are normally easier to get. Fill in our quote form.
Can you serve the barbecue on plates?
Yes. With salads and potatoes, it’s a proper meal on a plate; ask about china if you’d like it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How the day works
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. For an evening barbecue in Crockerhill, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:10pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
