How our BBQ catering works in Elvington
The point of a catered barbecue is that you get to enjoy it. Our chef cooks, our staff serve and we tidy up afterwards, while you look after your guests. Whether it’s community fun days and summer staff days, we can cook chicken skewers, halloumi skewers and pulled pork.
Country barbecues near Elvington are hard to beat on a summer evening. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Mention any guests who avoid beef
- Add a dietary question to the invitation
- Check which rolls and sauces contain gluten
We get there well before service, put the cover up and get the barbecue hot.
Pulled pork and brisket make the menu feel more substantial.
