BBQ catering in Cutteslowe, cooked on site
For bigger events in Cutteslowe, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, giving guests both the spectacle and the variety. Ask and we will quote for both. For big birthday parties and team days and staff summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of pulled pork, BBQ ribs and sausages.
Barbecues around Cutteslowe are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of day, with nobody you know stuck at the grill. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, yards, car parks and fields can take a barbecue with a little planning. A quick checklist:
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, 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?. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Why book our barbecue in Cutteslowe
