BBQ catering for Curbridge
BBQ catering in Curbridge, served hot
There’s more to a catered barbecue than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and charity fundraisers, serving coleslaw, BBQ ribs and sausages.
In a place like Curbridge, a barbecue at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re 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.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

How the day works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Curbridge is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
