BBQ catering in Eastwood, served hot
Some of the best barbecues are the ones where the host gets to sit down. We look after the grill, the serving and the clearing, while you look after your guests. Whether it is back-garden get-togethers and informal weddings, we can cook beef brisket, coleslaw and pulled pork.
A barbecue in the countryside near Eastwood makes a lovely summer party. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather, and think about lighting if it runs late. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What we serve, dish by dish
Beef brisket
Slow-cooked beef brisket, sliced to serve, for a more substantial plate.
BBQ ribs
For guests who love barbecue, the ribs are frequently the highlight.
A barbecue or other catering?
Compared with ordering takeaway, a barbecue becomes part of the event, with the smell drawing people over. What you choose to eat matters most: burgers and sausages cost less than brisket and ribs, so we list each item in the quote. Tell us your budget and we will suggest a menu.
Why Eastwood hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Add a hog roast alongside
- Planned to your running order

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Think about who does not eat pork or beef so the menu has enough choice
- Collect dietary needs with the RSVPs
- Check the allergen information for sauces and marinades
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up on the spot we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the rest of the space to you.
Ask about china for a sit-down meal, at extra cost.
