Why a catered barbecue beats doing it yourself
Compared with food vans, one catered barbecue keeps everyone eating together, on a menu you’ve agreed in advance. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

BBQ catering in East Wellow, cooked on site
A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can enjoy your own event. Whether it’s leaving parties and birthdays and milestone parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, sausages and pulled pork.
Near East Wellow, barbecues frequently happen in gardens and fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere the smoke can drift away from open windows
- Room for a serving table next to the grill
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The menu, dish by dish
BBQ ribs
Sticky, glazed ribs are the messy treat of the menu.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
The process
The barbecue cooks under cover, so a shower won’t stop it, though your guests will want shelter if it rains. A summer barbecue in East Wellow stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a barbecue a long summer evening. In late September, it is dark by about 7:10pm.
