BBQ catering for your event in Dawesgreen
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. On the menu are sausages, chicken skewers and beef burgers, and we’re regularly asked to cater school fairs and summer fêtes and big birthday parties.
A barbecue in the countryside near Dawesgreen makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked through properly, with separate equipment for raw and cooked food.
The process
If timings shift on the day, let your contact know, and we will work around it. A barbecue is easy to time, as most of it is cooked as people eat. At midsummer, it’s light in Dawesgreen until about 9:20pm, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. By late September, sunset is nearer 7:05pm.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- We serve as people come up.
- The serving area is cleared before we leave.
How to prepare

Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Next to doing the barbecue yourself, no host is stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is cooked properly by people who do it every week. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Hot food straight off the grill
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Six meats to choose from
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, so the barbecue looks as good at the end as at the start.
Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.
