BBQ catering in Denmead, cooked on site
For bigger events in Denmead, a barbecue can sit alongside a hog roast, so there is a centrepiece and plenty of choice. We can quote for either or both. We’re frequently asked to cater relaxed weddings and evening receptions and cricket, football and rugby club days, serving BBQ ribs, pulled pork and coleslaw.
In a place like Denmead, a barbecue at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

What else we do in Denmead
How it works
Grilled food is at its best when it is hot, so we cook to order through service. Slow-cooked meats are ready as soon as service begins, so nobody waits for the first round. Sunset in Denmead is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening barbecue is usually in daylight.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.
- We check the cooking spot and quote.
- We set up under cover before service.
- At food time, we cook and serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day

Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Plan somewhere dry for your guests to eat.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. We need a level, open area outdoors with room for the grill and a serving table.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- Parking near the grill
- A thought for the wind direction, so smoke drifts away from guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue gives more choice, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The menu makes a big difference to the price: a simple menu costs less than one with brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.
