BBQ catering for your event in East Studdal
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, so your time goes on your guests, not the food. On the menu are beef burgers, halloumi skewers and beef brisket, and we are frequently booked for sports clubs and team events and close and cul-de-sac parties.
Near East Studdal, barbecues often happen in gardens and fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Check whether anyone avoids pork or beef when choosing the meats
- Ask which items contain gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you’re ready to eat.
For a more filling menu, add pulled pork or brisket.

A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with a sit-down meal, a barbecue keeps things informal, and it does not need a kitchen. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Pair it with a hog roast if you like
- Planned to your running order
- Six meats to choose from
