BBQ catering for East Street
How it works
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. Evening barbecues in East Street need a little planning: it is light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. Plan lights for the serving area after that.
- Tell us what kind of event it is.
- We suggest a menu and send a quote.
- We set up the grill before food time.
- We serve as people come up.
- We tidy up before we go.
How to prepare
- Keep the grill downwind of the seating
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Include children in your numbers

BBQ catering in East Street, cooked on site
We cook outdoors, under cover, on a spot we agree with you, well clear of walls, marquee sides and trees. Send us a photo of the space and we’ll confirm it. On the menu are beef brisket, beef burgers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th and 50th birthdays and evening wedding food.
In a small place like East Street, a barbecue in a garden, a paddock or the village green with permission is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A barbecue or other catering?
Instead of a takeaway delivery, the cooking is part of the atmosphere, and the grill becomes a gathering point. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our barbecue in East Street
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on site by our chef

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
On the day, we arrive in good time to set up, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.

What do children typically eat?
Yes, generally: burgers and sausages in a roll are easy for small hands. Give us a rough number of children.

Organising for someone else?
