Why choose BBQ catering in Drayton St Leonard?
Compared with hiring a venue’s in-house menu, you pick the meats, the sides and the meat-free options yourself. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Hot food straight off the grill
- Timed around your day
Take a look at our prices page and our barbecue menu ideas.
Step by step
Barbecue food is best straight off the grill, so we cook to order through service. Pulled pork and brisket are ready from the start, which keeps the queue moving. Evening barbecues in Drayton St Leonard need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
- At serving time, the chef grills and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
