BBQ catering in Elmer, served hot

About the food
Sausages
Sausages are a barbecue favourite, in a roll or on a plate.
Beef burgers
No barbecue is complete without burgers, and they’re a safe bet for children and adults alike.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask about allergens in glazes and sauces
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
Our staff keep the serving table tidy and topped up, right through the service.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
Our chef runs the grill while our staff serve, so service stays steady. When everyone has eaten, we clear the serving area. A summer barbecue in Elmer stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so an evening barbecue can run late in daylight. In late September, it’s dark by about 7:05pm.
- Tell us about your event: date, address and numbers.

How we price a catered barbecue
We work out each quote from:
- Whether you want china
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
