About our BBQ catering in Crockham Hill
Whether it is twenty friends in a garden or a whole workforce in a car park, a catered barbecue scales to the occasion. Tell us your rough numbers and we’ll plan the menu and service. For birthdays and milestone parties and summer staff days, we will put together a menu of beef brisket, pulled pork and chicken skewers for your guests.
In a small place like Crockham Hill, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Where the barbecue can go in Crockham Hill
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. Check these:
- Enough room for the grill, the serving table and a queue
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, 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?. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
