Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Tell us if anyone does not eat beef
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We bring everything we need to cook and serve, so you don’t need to find grills or tongs.
For a bigger event, add a hog roast alongside the barbecue.
How our BBQ catering works in Eastergate
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. We’re often asked to cater leaving parties and reunions and family get-togethers, serving halloumi skewers, sausages and BBQ ribs.
A barbecue in the countryside near Eastergate makes a lovely summer party. Plan shelter in case it rains. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How the day works
The barbecue goes on the agreed spot, so your event carries on around us. We will place the grill so smoke drifts away from guests. Autumn and winter barbecues in Eastergate get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.
