About our BBQ catering in Durford Wood
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Give us your serving time and we will work to it. Whether it’s engagement and anniversary parties and neighbourhood parties, we’ll put together a menu of BBQ ribs, chicken skewers and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Durford Wood makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask about allergies when guests reply
After service, our staff clear up, so there’s very little left for you to do.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

A barbecue or other catering?
Next to a hog roast, a barbecue offers more variety, with beef, chicken and pork rather than one main meat. A hog roast is the bigger spectacle, so some events have both. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote
