Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Meat-free choices on every menu
- No surprises: everything in writing

How our BBQ catering works in Denton
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, away from buildings, fences and overhanging branches. Send us a picture of the space and we’ll confirm it. Whether it’s sports clubs and team events and work barbecues, we can cook sausages, pulled pork and coleslaw for your guests.
For a barbecue in Denton, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. You get a barbecue without the work: no shopping, no prep and no washing up.

Questions from Denton
Can you barbecue near the sea around Denton?
Yes, of course. We cook under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s on your BBQ menu?
Six meats, plus vegetarian and vegan options. Most events pick three or four.
Is the barbecue cooked on site?
Yes, at your event, on a spot we agree with you. The barbecue needs a level spot outdoors, clear of buildings and trees.
Do you have vegetarian and vegan options?
Yes. There is a halloumi option and a vegan option, cooked separately from the meat.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes, on plates with salads, coleslaw and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Is barbecued chicken safe?
Cooking properly is our job: raw and cooked food are kept apart, with separate tongs and boards.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We can label dishes at the serving table. Let us know about allergies before the day.
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, so nobody waits for the first round. By late September, sunset in Denton is about 7:05pm; in December it is about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the moment service begins, which takes the pressure off the grill.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
What comes off the grill
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Chicken skewers
Chicken on skewers suits mingling guests, on a plate or in a roll.
