BBQ catering in Doleham, cooked on site
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: pulled pork, brisket and ribs turn it into a proper meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. We’re often asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and charity fundraisers, with beef brisket, sausages and BBQ ribs.
Country barbecues near Doleham are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue is relaxed and sociable, and needs no kitchen at the venue. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so the quote shows each choice. Ask us to suggest a menu for your budget.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Think about who doesn’t eat pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
The serving table is kept tidy and stocked, right through the service.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, alongside the other meats.
For event organisers in Doleham
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A spot well clear of buildings
- Access through a gate or passage wide enough for our kit
- The venue’s agreement for an outside caterer
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
