How the day works
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed time. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, which keeps the queue moving. By late September, sunset in Curridge is about 7:10pm; in December it is about 4:00pm. For a late-season barbecue, lunchtime is easiest.

BBQ catering in Curridge, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, which is why we cook and serve as your guests come up. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll plan around it. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and summer staff days, serving pulled pork, halloumi skewers and beef burgers.
In a small place like Curridge, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked through properly, with raw and cooked food kept apart.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far ahead should we book a barbecue?
The earlier the better for summer weekends. Midweek dates are usually easier to get. Use our quote form.
What do you need from the venue?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about children’s numbers
Slow-cooked meats such as pulled pork and brisket are ready to serve from the start, which takes the pressure off the grill.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A green light from whoever owns the site
