How our BBQ catering works in Dallington
With BBQ catering, the barbecue, the food and the cooking are all on us. We cook on site at your event in Dallington, outdoors under cover, while our staff serve your guests and tidy up. We are often asked to cater work barbecues and sports clubs and team events, serving coleslaw, beef brisket and sausages.
A barbecue in the countryside near Dallington makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

How we price a catered barbecue
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest a menu.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
How it works
With cover over the grill, the weather rarely holds us up, but plan somewhere dry for people to eat. Evening barbecues in Dallington need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Choose the menu a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your guests

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask which items contain gluten
All the cooking and serving equipment comes with us, so you do not need to find grills or tongs.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Where the barbecue can go in Dallington
