BBQ catering in Crockerhill, served hot

BBQ catering means we bring the barbecue and do the cooking. We cook on site at your event in Crockerhill, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We serve sausages, beef burgers and pulled pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater reunions and family get-togethers and team days and staff summer parties.

A barbecue in the countryside near Crockerhill makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

How it works

On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. From there, we cook as your guests come up, timed to when you want to eat. Autumn and winter barbecues in Crockerhill get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. We suggest a menu and send a quote.
  3. We set up the grill before food time.
  4. Hot food is served through the agreed time.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a spot where smoke blows away from guests
  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Looking after everyone

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
  • Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
  • Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades

We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.

A hog roast and a barbecue together cover every taste.

What we serve, dish by dish

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

Is a barbecue right for your event?

Compared with food vans, a single barbecue feeds your group together, with a menu planned around your guests. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

What you get with us

  • Our chef at the grill, not you
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Six meats to choose from

Your questions about a catered barbecue in Crockerhill

What about windy coastal sites?

Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Do you come out to small places like Crockerhill?

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

What does the venue need to provide?

A level, open spot outdoors for the grill, with room for a serving table and a way in for our equipment. Let us know about the site and we will confirm what we need.

Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?

Yes. There’s a halloumi option and a vegan option.

What’s on your BBQ menu?

You choose from burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket. Three or four meats is plenty for most groups.

Can you label vegetarian and vegan food?

We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.

Can we have a barbecue in winter?

We cook under cover, so the season does not stop us. Out of season, think about lighting and shelter for guests.

How far ahead should we book a barbecue?

As soon as you know the date, particularly for a summer weekend. But ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue

Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.

Planning the cooking spot

Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:

  • Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
  • A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
  • Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows

Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
