BBQ catering in East Burnham
BBQ catering in East Burnham, served hot
A good barbecue is about more than burgers: slow-cooked pulled pork, sliced beef brisket and glazed ribs make it feel like a meal, with salads, coleslaw and potatoes on the side. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, pulled pork and chicken skewers, and we’re frequently booked for sports clubs and team events and summer parties in the garden.
In a small place like East Burnham, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You get a barbecue without the work: we shop, cook, serve and clear.
FAQs for East Burnham
Is East Burnham too small for a barbecue?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Cocksherd Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can it be a sit-down meal?
Yes. Plates come as standard, with sides such as salads and potatoes, and china is available on request.
Can you barbecue in bad weather?
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop it. Have a gazebo, marquee or room indoors for eating.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
We do. Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, and vegans get a vegan burger or sausage, cooked separately from the meat.
Is the food cooked safely?
Our chef cooks everything thoroughly, with raw and cooked food kept apart, in line with Food Standards Agency guidance.
Do you label the food for allergies?
We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
Can you do halal?
We do not. Please arrange halal food separately if anyone needs it.
