BBQ catering in Easton, cooked on site
Food from a barbecue is best eaten hot off the grill, so we cook and serve through the agreed service time. Tell us when you’d like to eat and we’ll work to it. Whether it’s school fairs and summer fêtes and big birthday parties, we can cook beef brisket, chicken skewers and coleslaw and more.

- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
