BBQ catering for Culmers
Why choose BBQ catering in Culmers?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Culmers hosts choose us
- Six meats to choose from
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you

BBQ catering in Culmers, served hot
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. Whether it is club open days and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of beef burgers, halloumi skewers and coleslaw for your guests.
Country barbecues near Culmers are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.

The menu, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu; have napkins ready.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
The process
On the day, we position the grill under cover and get it up to heat. Then our chef cooks through the service time, worked around your serving time. In Culmers, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer barbecues are served in daylight.
- Send us the date, the place and roughly how many.
- Pick the menu with us.
- We confirm the cooking spot and send a quote.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

Before you choose a spot
A barbecue needs a level, open spot outdoors with cover. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
